Go Blue press release

If you have seen blue ribbons and blue shirts throughout Henderson County you know that it�s that time of year again! April is Child Abuse Awareness month in Henderson County and across the State of Texas. As always, leaders in our community are making great strides to heighten our county�s awareness in a coordinated effort to prevent child abuse. Scott McKee the Henderson County District Attorney, Clint Davis the Henderson County Attorney, and Ray Nutt the Henderson County Sheriff have partnered up with other local agencies to promote April as Child Abuse Awareness Month.

Child abuse is a community problem that can take many forms including, emotional abuse, neglect, physical abuse, sexual abuse and verbal abuse. For those who have or haven’t experienced a form of child abuse, they may or may not know they have access to help from law firms like https://lawtx.com. But what people don�t realize is that a little awareness goes a long way to prevent child abuse full stop.

Throughout the entire month of April, they are asking folks to proudly display blue ribbons everywhere to promote awareness and prevent child abuse. Many of the blue ribbons are placed in memory of children who were tragically lost at the hands of abusers.

How can you support Child Abuse Prevention Month? Throughout the month, individuals have shown their support by wearing a blue ribbon on their collars, lapels or elsewhere on their garments. Blue ribbons can also be displayed on car antennas, mailboxes and tree branches.

Tuesday, April 30 will be Go Blue Day in Henderson County, and citizens are asked to wear blue to show their support for the cause. The group is also asking citizens to encourage their family, friends and colleagues, not only to wear blue, but to purchase a 2013 Go Blue T-Shirt. This is the 5th year that Go Blue T-Shirts have been sold and of course, there is a new logo this year! This year�s campaign is: �Have a heart, do your part; Prevent child abuse.�

The money raised from the T-shirt sales stays in Henderson County to assist with child abuse and sexual assault awareness. All three offices work very closely with the Henderson County Child Advocacy Center, CASA, and the East Texas Crisis Center.

To purchase a T-shirts, contact, Betty Herriage or DeAnna Browning with the Henderson County District Attorney�s Office at 903-675-6100, or stop by Island Tans. The shirts are $10, and 2X- 5X are $13. Some of the proceeds from the sale will go towards Henderson County teachers in grades 5th and lower who receive free blue ribbon t-shirts. This is an important detail, because teachers are the frontline of defense against child abuse.

Additionally proceeds from the sale of the shirts help fund a fourth-grade poster contest for Henderson County schools, which is designed to educate and raise awareness and child abuse prevention. Additionally, in collaboration with the agency�s efforts, Athens Independent School District is allowing their students to wear the T-shirts for Go Blue day on April 30th.

Have a heart and do your part on Tuesday, April 30 and GO BLUE!
