Randall County Proclaims April Child Abuse Prevention Month; CASA Urges Volunteers

Randall County Commissioners Court · April 14, 2026

Summary

Randall County commissioners unanimously approved a proclamation designating April as Child Abuse Prevention Month after a presentation from Amarillo CASA citing more than 200 children in local foster care and urging volunteer support.

Randall County commissioners on April 14 unanimously adopted a proclamation recognizing April as Child Abuse Prevention Month following remarks from Jeremy Dosa, executive director of Amarillo CASA.

"There were over 200 children in foster care in Randall County alone," Dosa said, urging residents to get involved and noting that CASA volunteers and partner agencies help ensure children in care have their needs met. County leaders said the proclamation will be posted on the court website and included in the official minutes.

The judge asked for a motion to adopt the proclamation; the motion was made, seconded and carried by a 5–0 voice vote. Commissioners paused briefly for photos with the visiting advocates. The court noted the proclamation and encouraged public awareness and volunteer recruitment for local child-welfare partners.
