Hibiscus Children's Center (also known as Hibiscus House or HCC) is a non-profit charitable organization located in South and Central Florida. Its purpose is to provide support to individual families, and to lessen the effects of child abuse on the local community. Its individual programs differ on what ages the program serves. It was founded in 1985 and opened its first shelter in 1989. Since then, Hibiscus House has started several additional projects. Hibiscus Children's Center was founded in 1985 by LaVaughn Tilton. The organization's founder was directly involved with a case that involved a small boy's death, caused by his own father. A 3-year-old boy was removed from his home by child protective services (or another welfare program), Tilton believed that he was returned too early, and the child was later killed. LaVaughn decided to take action, and created a program known as Child Abuse Prevention (CAP for short). After recruiting, and getting volunteers, and some land donated from her church, she was able to open the "Hibiscus Children's Shelter," which is often referred to as "Hibiscus House," as is the organization as a whole.
