Prevention Links

 

Education is often the best method for child abuse prevention.
The Blue Ribbon is the symbol for child abuse prevention. April is Child Abuse Prevention Month and blue ribbons will appear everywhere in Black Hawk County. The Blue Ribbon Campaign began in 1989 when a Virginia grandmother tied a blue ribbon on her van as a memorial for her three year old grandson, who had been murdered by his mother's boyfriend.

Today, people working to prevent child abuse use the blue ribbon as a reminder of the positive steps that can be taken to prevent child abuse.
