Cambria County announces April as Child Abuse Prevention Month
EBENSBURG, Pa. (WTAJ) — Cambria County Commissioner Scott Hunt adopted a resolution to declare April as Child Abuse Prevention Month.
Members of the Children and Youth Services and the Circle of Support Child Advocacy Center planted pinwheels, the national symbol for child abuse prevention, in the front lawn garden of the Cambria County Courthouse. The commissioner followed that up with the proclamation.
The issue may be at the forefront of minds in the month of April, but preventing child abuse is a year-round effort.
'All the children in your life be a trusting adult for them,' Diana Grosik, the executive director of the Child Advocacy Center said. 'Any child that has a trusted adult outside of their family relationship, that is huge.'
If you suspect a child is being abused, call the child abuse hotline at 1-800-932-0313 or visit the Child Advocacy Center resources page on how to report the child abuse.
