A child advocate is someone who cares about all children being safe, protected and loved. It is hard to imagine but there are children who are being abused somewhere and bearing the added silent burden of fear if they reveal this terrifying secret. During the month of April, Child Abuse Awareness month, let your voice be heard that all children should be treated with love, respect, compassion and acceptance. We, as child advocates, can hopefully help prevent a parent or adult stop the avoidable crime of child abuse before it occurs. Start this month wearing a blue ribbon, the color of Child Abuse Awareness, or anything that is blue that will attract attention and start a conversation about this terrible crime against children being prevented and ending forever. We can all help make a difference in a child’s life by spreading the word that child abuse can be prevented starting now. www.sheilaaaronbooks.com
