For 25 years CARE House of Oakland County has sponsored the Circle of Friends event. This event seeks to bring awareness to the community of the prevalence of child abuse and neglect and to create awareness of the mission of CARE House the prevention and treatment of abuse and neglect and advocacy for victims.
The program also raises funds to support the work of CARE House.
This year the virtual event attracted over 275 guests who also honored the late Barry King, father of Timothy King, one of the victims of the Oakland County Child Killings in 1976-1977.
Barry was a major supporter of CARE House and an advocate for his son. He pursued justice for his son which, in spite of one of the most rigorous investigations in the history of the United States, remains unresolved. He was dedicated to finding the truth.

CARE House of Oakland County will host virtually its 25th annual Circle of Friends program on Jan. 28.
This year’s event will honor Barry King, a longtime supporter of CARE House who died in late 2020, and memorialize his family’s painful, but important, story, that gripped Oakland County more than 40 years ago.
Examining the legacy of the Oakland County Child Killings helps call attention to the vital mission of CARE House: the prevention, and treatment of abuse and neglect and advocacy for victims.
In 1976 and 1977, four children, including 11-year-old Timothy “Timmy” King, were murdered in Oakland County. The cases have not been solved. In honor of Timothy, Barry King was a major supporter of CARE House’s Pontiac facility renovation in 2011, a believer in CARE House programing and services and a dedicated spokesman for child safety throughout the region.
