Board backs child abuse prevention observances and courthouse blue lighting in April
Summary
Buchanan County commissioners agreed to support Child Abuse Prevention Month in April — including courthouse blue lighting and a coordinated proclamation — and to coordinate with courts and community groups.
The board discussed marking April as Child Abuse Prevention Month and coordinating that observance with sexual-abuse-awareness efforts. Commissioners proposed installing blue lighting on the courthouse and encouraged county offices to decorate and take part in the public-awareness campaign.
A board member described past practices — pinwheel displays and themed lighting — and suggested combining proclamations to bring interested groups together for a single ceremony. "I think it'd be a kind of a fun acknowledgement of child abuse prevention month," a commissioner said while describing decorations and community engagement ideas. The board approved pursuing support and coordinating logistics with county offices and the court system.
