April is recognized nationally as Child Abuse Prevention Month, a time to make communities more aware of child abuse and neglect so we can move to prevention. The color for the month is blue-the color of a child’s bruises-to remind us all that child abuse needs to stop! Child abuse is entirely preventable but only when the community comes together and promotes zero tolerance. Here in Frederick County, there are many opportunities for the community to promote and participate in Child Abuse Prevention activities that highlight awareness, prevention, and education. Friends of the Child Advocacy Center will be participating in many events over the course of April. More information can be found on their website: http://cacfriends.net/events/april-activities-are-announced/.
