Headline: Clackmas County Sheriff's Office, KOIN kick off 'Child Abuse Prevention Month' with media campaign

April is "Child Abuse Prevention Month" -- and we're teaming up with KOIN Local 6 to get the word out.

The goal of this unprecedented partnership is a month-long TV campaign designed to bring the subject of child abuse to the public's immediate attention -- generating greater awareness of the problem by educating the public about this horrid crime.

As part of this media campaign, KOIN plans to report on all aspects of child-abuse cases. As Rick Devereaux writes in a story posted to koin.com ( http://tinyurl.com/ydnvfg4 ): "Each day on KOIN Local 6 at 6, viewers will learn about recognizing and reporting child abuse and neglect, how to understand the impact child abuse has on its victims and the community, and what resources are available to combat abuse."

Child Abuse Prevention Month concludes with our Child Abuse and Family Violence Summit, held April 27-30 in Portland. (For more information on the Summit, visit http://www.ChildAbuseSummit.com.)

It's an honor to serve you while working together to make a difference.
