April is....

Child Abuse Awareness Month!

By Denise A. Bloomfield April 7, 2011

 Imagine a world where every child is treated with kindness and love....

 That would be a wonderful world! Sadly, that isn't the case....child abuse happens daily. The stats say that almost five children die each day from child abuse. Child abuse is reported avery 10 seconds. April is Child Abuse Awareness Month. There is something that you can do! You can take the time to become more aware. There are still many people unaware of child abuse.

  There is also a wonderful agency in the community called Richstone Family Center. They will be holding their 24th Annual Pier-To-Pier Walkathon on Saturday, April 30th at 7:30 am. What is the Pier-To-Pier Walkathon? It is a community event that raises funds to help the Richstone Family Center fight child abuse and help families. Check out their website! You really can make a difference!  I know that I'll be there...

Warmly,

Denise
