April is National Child Abuse Awareness Month, and Taylor City Council recognized those community organizations who fight for children’s safety during its Thursday meeting. Melinda Sentence, a community educator with Williamson County Children’s Advocacy Center, received the proclamations for National Child Abuse Awareness Month.
“This proclamation means that we are collectively providing hope, healing and justice to children that are already impacted by abuse and violence in our community. But it also represents raising awareness to prevent child abuse,” Sentence said. “How do we do that? By making sure that we know about the risk. By making sure we provide the ear to listen. But also making sure to recognize what child abuse is.”
Council also presented a proclamation to Break the Silence, a local organization that works to prevent the sexual abuse of children.
