“I miss Billy The Kid
The times that he had
The life that he lived
I guess he must’ve got caught
His innocence lost
I wonder where he is
I miss Billy The Kid”
Those are lyrics from Billy Dean’s song “Billy The Kid”. Billy Dean is an American country music singer and songwriter.

What Is Susie’s Place?
Susie’s Place is a child advocacy center. Susie’s Place conducts forensic interviews of children involved in reported instances of maltreatment. They also provide critical support to children and families from their three locations in Avon, Bloomington, and Terre Haute.
Susie’s Place protects children from abuse, neglect and sexual assault. Everything they do is focused on the child’s need.
Susie’s Place provides forensic interviews for children in a child-friendly center for the investigation of reported crimes against children. In the past, several different people often interviewed children. For example, school staff, Department of Child Services, law enforcement, and the prosecutor’s office would be involved. Children were being traumatized by having to repeatedly tell their story. They were often interviewed in police stations, which are not child-friendly. As a response to those concerns, the Child Advocacy Center was born.
