Kansas Attorney General Kris Kobach and the Kansas State Child Death Review Board are encouraging Kansans to wear blue on Friday, April 10, to increase awareness of child abuse. The effort is part of the observance of April as Child Abuse Prevention Month.
The Board indicates that child abuse and neglect can take many forms, often occurring behind closed doors, making awareness and prevention efforts critical.
While physical abuse may be the most visible, emotional and sexual abuse, and neglect, can have equally serious and lasting impacts on a child’s health, development, and well-being.
