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, the Board of County Commissioners of Weld County, do hereby
proclaim April 2020 as Child Abuse Prevention Month. We urge all citizens to dedicate
themselves to protecting children and connecting with families within their communities to
ensure they are strong and thriving.
