CHILD ABUSE PREVENTION MONTH
APRIL 2024
WHEREAS, every child deserves to grow up in a safe, loving, and stable family, free from
physical, sexual, emotional, and verbal abuse, neglect, and exploitation; and
WHEREAS, child abuse is a national tragedy that crosses racial, ethnic, and socio-
economic boundaries and endangers our most precious and vulnerable resource, children,
who will shape the future of Weld County as our workforce, leaders, neighbors, and
community members; and
WHEREAS, strengthening, educating, and supporting families is the most effective way
to prevent child abuse and neglect, ensuring the opportunity for children to develop in
healthy, trusting families, schools, and neighborhoods.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT PROCLAIMED, by the Board of Weld County Commissioners
that April 2024 be known as Child Abuse Prevention Month and urge all citizens to dedicate
themselves to protecting children and connecting with families within their communities to
ensure they are strong and thriving.
