During Child Abuse Prevention Month, communities across the nation come together to shine a light on the importance of child safety and to stand up for the children who have experienced abuse and neglect. The blue ribbon—and the sea of blue you’ll see throughout the month— symbolizes hope, the innocence of childhood and protection. Wearing, sharing and celebrating blue throughout April reminds others of the critical need to protect children and uplift families.
Every 47 seconds, a child in the U.S. is abused or neglected.
1 in 7 children experience abuse or neglect each year.
5,408 children were victims of abuse or neglect in Harris County in 2025.
