Child advocates and law enforcement officials planted pinwheels in the garden at the Central Alabama Regional Child Advocacy Center April 8 to recognize Child Abuse Prevention Awareness Month.
The Child Advocacy Center hosted the event to honor and remember over 200 children involved in child abuse investigations in Dallas County last year.
Child Abuse Prevention Month has been observed each April since 1981 to raise awareness that all children deserve to grow up in a happy and healthy environment. The pinwheels, nationally recognized as a symbol for the month, were “planted” at the Child Advocacy Center and will remain in place through the end of the month.
The CAC provides forensic interviews for abused children in Dallas, Bibb, Hale, Perry and Wilcox counties.
