April is Child Abuse Prevention Month
The Clermont County Board of Commissioners has proclaimed April 2025 as Child Abuse Prevention Month. Last year, there were 84,524 reports of child abuse and neglect in Ohio, with 1,332 cases reported in Clermont County alone.
This month serves as a reminder that protecting children is a responsibility we all share. By listening to children, reporting concerns, becoming foster parents, or simply spreading awareness, we can help create a safer community.
On April 4, wear blue to show your support for child abuse prevention efforts. Together, we can make a difference.
Dorothy Meier, Director of Clermont County Department of Job and Family Services, accepted the proclamation on behalf of the department.
