Better service, bigger savings. That's today's Appalachian Wireless. April is Child Abuse Prevention Month and officials and advocates came together in Pike County today to take a stand for children. State and local officials and those on the local front lines battling child abuse came together in the Pikeville City Park Tuesday for the county's annual child abuse prevention program. Being gathered here today in Unity is only one of the first steps to help these children who are being abused both mentally and physically. I wished it was one of those things we just did not have child abuse, but at least things like this help bring it to light and make it a little bit more acceptable for people to report it and let us know because without those eyes and ears in the community, a lot of times it would just go unreported. Officials said during the program that one in ten children are the victims of sexual abuse and even more the victim of some other form of child abuse. Those in attendance at Tuesday's program are hoping to reduce those statistics, but the most important volley in the battle against child abuse is reporting suspected abuse. It's truly a team effort to address what is really a scourge and while we know the statistics, it's probably under reported in terms of the number of children that are victimized. But as long as abuse and sexual abuse occurs, we're going to be there to make sure that we have the tools to seek justice because that child cannot seek it on his or her own. And it's incumbent on all of us to make sure that not only does that child get the help, the healing that he or she needs, but that predator is brought to justice and can never harm another child again. Report it. There's no reason not to report it. All you're going to do is help a child. We can't stop what we don't know about and we need to stop abuse.
