Anyone who helps fight child abuse are heroes!April is national child abuse awareness month.During the past several years, the blue ribbon has been widely recognized as a national symbol of child abuse awareness. This movement began in the spring of 1989, when a Norfolk, Virginia grandmother, Bonnie Finney, took a stand against child abuse after experiencing the death of her grandson. She tied a blue ribbon to the antenna on her van as a memorial for her 3 year-old grandson, who was murdered by his mother’s abusive boyfriend. The spirit of her blue ribbon grew, and others have joined her in using blue ribbons as reminders of the bruises of child abuse. Each year thousands of ribbons are distributed nationally to organizations and individuals interested in preventing child abuse and neglect. Order a blue ribbon pin by clicking on the photo above.
