Commissioners proclaim April 2026 Child Abuse Prevention Month
Summary
Kendall County adopted a proclamation recognizing April 2026 as Child Abuse Prevention Month and invited community partners to publicize local events including a blue breakfast and a Blue Sunday observance.
Judge Shane Stolarz read a proclamation on March 24 declaring April 2026 as Child Abuse Prevention Month in Kendall County.
Representatives from SJRC Texas Belong, Hill Country Crisis Council, CASA and Transformation House described coordinated prevention and intervention activities, including a community 'blue breakfast' and a Blue Sunday vigil. Holly Pickett of SJRC Texas Belong said Texas reported nearly 52,000 confirmed victims of child abuse and neglect last year and noted about a dozen children in Kendall County are currently in foster care. The court approved the proclamation unanimously.
Speakers emphasized prevention programs, forensic interviews and community partnerships aimed at early intervention and family support. No formal county funding decisions were made during the proclamation presentation; organizers were asked to provide event details to county staff for publicity.
