Texans wear blue for child abuse awareness
A lot of Texans are wearing blue Friday to raise awareness about child abuse. April is Child Abuse Prevention Month, and the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services urged people to wear blue Friday.
The CDC estimates one in seven kids is abused or neglected. The agency said the number is likely higher because many cases are not reported. "It is a very prevalent problem. Just increasing awareness in the community is important so we can have more protection for kiddos," said Nicholas La Mere, the therapy, trainee and intern coordinator at Dallas Children's Advocacy Center. The organization coordinates services to investigate and prosecute cases of physical and sexual abuse while also providing healing services for victims.
