Adopt proclamation recognizing April as Child Abuse Prevention Month in Mendocino County; and authorize Chair to sign same.

PREVIOUS BOARD/BOARD COMMITTEE ACTIONS:
The Board of Supervisors routinely adopts Proclamations recognizing special events and issues in Mendocino County.
SUMMARY OF REQUEST:
Nationally, April is "Child Abuse Prevention Month". While concerns surrounding abused, neglected and exploited children continue year round, Child Abuse Prevention Month provides the Board of Supervisors the opportunity to draw the attention of the citizens of Mendocino County to the problem of child abuse and the need for good prevention services and alternative caregivers, while encouraging all of us to support efforts to ensure that all children are loved, cared for, nurtured and safe.
With April being proclaimed as Child Abuse Prevention Month, the Children's Action Committee is focused on child and family safety with the support of the Mendocino County Board of Supervisors, county departments, community partners and families. Child abuse and neglect is every community leader's concern and requires heightened community awareness in order to provide continuous safety for its children and youth.
Supervisor Mulheren has created a Pin Wheel Display near the flagpole at 501 Low Gap Road to raise awareness and departments, families and businesses in Mendocino County are encouraged to do the same.
