Additionally, education and media campaigns will complement these displays and raise awareness of child abuse and neglect. Hold a Blue Ribbon Campaign A Virginia grandmother, Bonnie W. Finney, tied a blue ribbon to the antenna of her van. When asked about it, she told people the tragic story of the abuse of her grandchildren, and the resulting death of her grandson. Since then, millions of people across the country have participated in Blue Ribbon campaigns by wearing the ribbons, or tying ribbons around courthouse steps or a prominent tree for each child reported abused and or neglected within your county gets citizens involved in Child Abuse Prevention Month (CAPM) activities and reminds people they can help prevent child abuse in their communities. Order your blue ribbon now using the form at the end of this packet.
