A blue ribbon is the international symbol for Child Abuse Prevention. The color blue was chosen to represent the bruised and battered bodies of the thousands of children that are abused everyday. It serves as a constant reminder that all of us have a responsibility to help keep children safe.
Before today is over, 3 CHILDREN WILL DIE from being abused. At least one of them will be a baby - less than a year old. They other two probably haven't yet celebrated their 5th birthdays. More than 510 other children will be physically abused today and another 270 will be sexually abused. In total, over 2,700 children will be abused today.
Tomorrow - the horror starts all over again, just as it does everyday.
You CAN help stop child abuse.

I didn't know there was a color with child abuse. If you get a ribbon for child abuse I hope it is a black one at you funeral. There is nothing dignified about abuse. What glory do you get out of being physically superior over a child. Maybe it should be a flag of your ba**s hanging upside down from a flag pole.
