april is child abuse prevention month
Each year, Cook Children’s displays pinwheels to represent a child abuse evaluation visit with our Child Advocacy Resources and Evaluation (CARE) Team in the previous year.
This month, 1,675 pinwheels are planted.
The CARE team provides medical and forensic evaluations for victims of physical abuse, neglect and drug exposure, sexual abuse screening examinations and preventive education for victims of child maltreatment.
To report abuse, neglect or exploitation, please contact the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services at 1-800-252-5400. If a child is in immediate danger, call 911.
On this #GoBlueDay, wear something blue in honor of your commitment to preventing child abuse and neglect!
