Project Start Date: 10/1/2013 End Date: 9/30/2014
Problem Identification
Problem Description:
The children of Okaloosa County need a place which provides a safe and nurturing environment
for victims of domestic violence and child abuse to fulfill Court-ordered supervised visitation and
monitored exchanges.
Problem Significance:
Children from families are often presented to the Court where there has been an act of domestic
violence or the threat of domestic violence exists. The children may be placed in the custody of
the state or with the non-offending parent under an Order of Protection. Other children are
removed from their parent's home because of a variety of reasons, including physical abuse,
sexual abuse, and neglect, and placed in the custody of the state. Often the parent(s) will be given
a plan to correct any problems with the reunification of the famify as the final goal. During that time
the family bonds will need to be maintained by regular visitation. For a variety of reasons, the
Court is asked to address the issue of visitation balanced with ensuring the child?s safety. It is
important that all of these children's physical and emotional safety is protected during what may
be a time of chaos and uncertainty for this family. The children in this community need the
services of a Family Visitation Center to give them an advocate and maintain a safe, secure place
to visit without fear of exposure to emotional and/or physical harm.
Additionally, victims of domestic violence need the services of a Family Visitation Center to safely
fulfill court ordered shared parenting time by means of supervised visitation or monitored
exchanges with an abusive partner without fear of exposure to their victimizer.
Needs Assessment:
There is an ongoing need for the services of supervised visits and monitored exchanges in
Okaloosa County.
Project Summary (Scope of Work)
The Family Visitation Center serves as a source of referral for alf of Okaloosa County.
The purpose of this program is to protect children by Enforcing child abuse and neglect laws,
including flaws protecting against child sexual abuse, and promoting programs designed to prevent
child abuse and neglect.
The project will refer to community resources including, but not limited to, charitable organizations,
counseling services, and domestic violence shelters.
The project will provide documentation to the Court as is required. This project is intended to
follow the Florida Supreme Court Standards and Guidelines for Safe

Supervised Visitation.
The ultimate goal of the project is to provide a safe and nurturing site for children to visit without
fear of revictimization,
This project will enable the Family Visitation Centers to provide additional hours of security for
supervised visitation and monitored exchange services in Okaloosa County.
Service Provider:
The Judge Ben Gordon, Jr. Family Visitation Center has been operating in Shalimar for sixteen
years. The Center has conducted more than 9,000 monitored exchanges and scheduled over
15,500 supervised visits, without one serious incident. The Judge Ben Gordon, Jr. Family
Visitation Center meets and exceeds the Minimum Standards outlined by the FCSC's Mode! Court
Subcommittee and approved by the Florida Supreme Court. The Center is a member of the
Supervised Visitation Network, with the Executive Director serving two terms on the board of
directors. The Center is also active in the Florida Chapter of the Supervised Visitation Network,
with the Executive Director serving two terms as president.
Security:
The Judge Ben Gordon, Jr. Family Visitation Center (JBGJFVC) will provide off-duty Officers
onsite as needed. All domestic violence cases will be screened and thoroughly reviewed for
potential danger.
Target Group:
This project serves all children exposed to family violence from infants to 18 years old and all
victims of domestic violence without regard to age or gender.
Project Activities:
When the Court orders a non-custodial parent into supervised visitation, the Visitation Center
provides a safe and nurturing environment for these visits to occur. An off duty law enforcement
Officer is on site when safety indicates and a trained monitor is in constant supervision of the
children. All visitors are thoroughly advised of the Centers numerous rules and restrictions and
must sign an agreement to abide by the rules before any visit is scheduled. Visits are scheduled
for one and one-half hours and staggered arrival and departure times protect victims from a
possible confrontation with perpetrators. The children visiting are unaware of all of our precautions
and rules and generally enjoy their time with their non-custodial parent. In every case, the child is
safe due to constant monitoring. Additional restrictive policies and rules are enforced for anyone
accused of, or convicted of, sexual abuse. A Visitation Center also meets the needs of domestic
violence victims referred by the Family Law Division of the Circuit Court and ordered to exchange
the children with an abusive spouse for regular visitation. The Center provides for the emotional
and physical safety of these children and abuse victims. This is accomplished by providing a
secure, child-friendly setting and a strictly enforced staggered schedute of times for the delivery
and pickup of children. The monitored exchanges have proven to meet a critical need in the
Courts efforts to protect children from witnessing conflict which would often turn violent.

Jr. Family Visitation Center (“Center”) provides a safe and nurturing environment for these visits
to occur. An off-duty law enforcement officer is on site, and a trained monitor is in constant

protect victims from possible confrontation with perpetrators. The children visiting are unaware
of all precautions and rules and generally enjoy their time with their non-custodial parent. In
every case, the child is safe due to constant monitoring. Additional restrictive policies and rules
are enforced for anyone accused of, or convicted of, sexual abuse.
The Center also meets the needs of domestic violence victims referred by the Family Law
Division of the Circuit Court when a custodian is ordered to exchange the children with an
abusive spouse for regular visitation. The Center provides for the emotional and physical safety
of these children and abuse victims. This is accomplished by providing a secure, child-friendly
setting and a strictly enforced staggered schedule of times for the delivery and pickup of children.

children from witnessing conflict, which would often turn violent.
