HomeMy WebLinkAboutPresentation - Child Abuse Prevention MonthWhereas, children deserve a safe, stable, and permanent home in order
to become productive members of our society; and
Whereas, child abuse is found in families of all social and economic
classes and every racial and ethnic group. Child abuse impacts the entire
community, and finding solutions depends on community involvement to nurture
family growth and inspire future generations; and
Whereas, effective child abuse prevention programs succeed because of
partnerships created among social service agencies, schools, religious
organizations, law enforcement agencies, and the business community. Through
the continued work of volunteers, parents, community partners, policy makers, and
professionals, child abuse may be eradicated, giving our children a bright,
successful future; and
Whereas, Prevent Child Abuse Riverside County works in collaboration
with the Department of Public Social Services to educate the public to reduce the
incidence of child abuse and provide other services to help alleviate its effects; and
Whereas, all citizens should become more aware of child abuse and its
prevention within the community and become more involved in supporting parents to
raise their children in a safe, nurturing environment.
Now, Therefore, I, Jean M . Benson, Mayor of the City of Palm
Desert, California, Do Hereby Proclaim the month of April 2011 as
Child Abuse Prevention Month
in the City of Palm Desert and urge all residents to become more aware of this
nationwide problem and to take necessary actions to prevent child abuse in their
communities.
