Child abuse and neglect don’t just affect the child—they ripple through families, communities, and generations. But with awareness comes action. When we know the signs and understand the types, we’re better equipped to protect children, support survivors, and create safer environments. Prevention starts with knowledge. And every adult can be part of the solution.

The earlier we recognize the signs, the sooner we can stop the cycle. Child abuse thrives in secrecy, denial, and silence — but awareness changes everything. By educating ourselves and those around us, we shift the culture from reactive to proactive. We create homes, schools, and communities where abuse has fewer places to hide — and children have more safe adults to trust.
