Last week we spoke of resources available to Milam County Folks when it comes to our children. April is Child Abuse Awareness month and as such it’s important to discuss the existing resources to stop child abuse and to aid children in the foster care system. In last week’s article I also mentioned other resources, one of those was Place of Hope Pregnancy Resource Center in Rockdale. One of the ways we can work to help curb the occurrences of Child Abuse is to give our mothers and parents the best start we can and that’s what Place of Hope helps with.

Ihonestly believe one of the best things we could do is to eliminate the need for a Child Abuse Awareness Month, but here we are again. Some of this week’s article is carry-over from last year, but this is such an important issue that I felt inclined to lean on last year’s article to emphasize this dire need in our society. Children are our most valuable resources, they are our future, and unfortunately, they also tend to be our most vulnerable population as well.
