COEUR d'ALENE - So small, so sad.

The faces of many of the children featured in a video shown Thursday during North Idaho CASA's annual Ray of Hope breakfast reflected fear, anxiety, despair. Some had no expression - a little girl with a vacant stare, a boy who looked as if he had given up, like he had forgotten how to smile.

"What CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocates) does is gives these children a chance," said Sandra Gunn, the nonprofit's director.
