The month of April is National Child Abuse Prevention month. The blue pinwheels were introduced as a national symbol for child abuse prevention in 2008. “The pinwheels campaign is focused on promoting the great childhoods that all children deserve and engaging individuals, businesses, and communities in joining together to build strong families and prevent child maltreatment.” (www.illuminatecolorado.org) The Colorado Child Abuse and Neglect hotline is 1-844-CO-4-KIDS (1-844-264-5437).
