Take a stand against child abuse

April is Child Abuse Prevention Month, and we will proudly stand alongside parish leadership, sheriffs and other community members against child abuse. Across Iberville, Pointe Coupee and West Baton Rouge, there is an average of 100 children in foster care due to abuse or neglect. We will place pinwheels in the front of a prominent building in each parish to showcase our support for these children.
