April is National Child Abuse Prevention month

Child abuse remains in the spotlight during the month of April in the region. In 2021 there were more than 10,000 reported victims of child abuse and neglect in Oregon and more than 1,000 in Marion County.

Throughout the month blue ribbons will be tied to a tree at Salem’s Riverfront Park, near the Rotary Pavillion. Each ribbon represents a victim of child abuse.
