1981年，A. 米里亚姆·贾米森儿童中心 was established in response to the growing number of reported child abuse cases in Kern County.

The 贾米森儿童中心 is a 24-hour Temporary Shelter Care Facility, operated by the Human 服务 Department of Kern County. As the only emergency 避难所 in Kern County for abused, 被忽视和被剥削的儿童, 贾米森儿童中心 temporarily houses children who are taken into protective custody by law enforcement agencies or social workers. Children come to 贾米森儿童中心 from all backgrounds and walks of life.
