National Blue Ribbon Campaign

  Get Blue and Wear a Blue Ribbon!

Blue Ribbon
Awareness Pins

Ever since the spring of 1989 when a Virginia Grandmother named Bonnie began wearing a Blue Ribbon as a tribute to her grandson.. .a three year old whose mother's abusive boyfriend killed him, concerned citizens all over America have worn the blue ribbon as a symbol to prevent child abuse and neglect.

The Blue Ribbon Campaign is gaining national momentum. It is one way that everyone can play a role in the awareness of child abuse. By demonstrating your concern and commitment, others will want to wear the ribbon too. It's a powerful way to rally everyone in your community to support public awareness for child abuse and programs that help children.

Click here to purchase Blue Ribbon pins. By wearing the Blue Ribbon pin you are the difference for children!

Love Our Children USA invites you to challenge people to display a blue ribbon in every business, every church and synagogue, every school, every hospital, and in every home... challenge kids and adults to wear their blue ribbons proudly. Please involve your neighborhood and community... ask everyone to respond to this national challenge. Learn about the issue of child abuse and encourage your friends to do the same. Please join the nation in preventing child abuse and violence.

Each year over 3 million children are victims of child abuse, and those are ONLY the ones that are reported ...each year almost 1.8 million children are reported missing ...many of them abducted from their own homes and front yards. Child abuse kills more than 3 children every day in the U.S.
Because so many cases of child abuse go unreported, it is estimated that 3 times the number of children that are reported, are actual child abuse victims. Children in the USA are more apt to die from abuse than from accidents.

Child abuse comes in the forms of: physical abuse, neglect, sexual abuse, emotional and verbal abuse, abandonment, and death. Love Our Children USA is committed to raising awareness, educating the public.

In order to make a bigger impact it is essential that communities all over the country get involved.

Please take a few moments this month to remind children you know that:

• Violence affects all of us whether we are directly involved or witnesses.
• It is our duty and the law to report it
• No one ever deserves to be abused.
• Young people are never to blame for the abuse and violence that are inflicted upon them.
• Young people should always tell a trusted adult about the abuse

For every blue ribbon that is worn across the country ... is another child in America who has bruises, who cries, who hurts, who is afraid, and sadly - who may be dead. ALL children and teens so desperately need and want is love, safety, and nurturing! Child abuse is everyone’s problem! Let’s create beautiful dreams for our youth... instead of shattering them!

What You Can Do To Help Build The Bridge From Prevention Awareness To Action In Your Community:

It is up to us to build strong communities where families and children live. It is in these communities that children are safest from abuse, violence and neglect. Here are some things you can do as a concerned individual:

Raise The Issue
Call or write your elected officials to educate them about issues in your community and the need for child abuse prevention, intervention, and treatment programs. Just because you're underage and cannot vote doesn't mean you can't be heard!

Encourage your local school district and faith community to sponsor classes and support programs for new parents and for young people.

Supporting other youths and parents in your family and in your community helps to reduce the likelihood of child abuse, violence and neglect. Be a good neighbor. Offer to baby-sit. Be kind and supportive, particularly to new parents and children.

Remember The Risk Factors
Child abuse and neglect occur in all segments of our society, but the risk factors are greater in families where parents:

- Abuse alcohol or drugs
- Are isolated from their families or communities
- Have difficulty controlling their anger or stress
- Appear uninterested in the care, nourishment, or safety of their children
- Seem to be having serious economic, housing, or personal problems

Recognize Some Of The Warning Signs That A Young Person Might Be Abused Or Neglected:

- Nervousness around adults
- Aggression toward adults or other youth
- Inability to stay awake or to concentrate for extended periods
- Sudden, dramatic changes in personality or activities
- Acting out sexually or showing interest in sex that is not appropriate for his or her age
- Frequent or unexplained bruises or injuries
- Low self-esteem
- Poor hygiene

Report Suspected Abuse Or Neglect

If you even suspect abuse or neglect report it—and keep reporting it—until something is done. Contact child protective services (in your local phone book) or your local police department.

Other Ways You Can Help

- Build a support network by getting involved in your neighborhood and community.
- Develop friendly relationships with your neighbors and their children.
- Problems often seem less overwhelming when support is nearby.
- Get involved at school. Join safety programs. Gold safety campaigns and events.
- Talk to your friends and neighbors about child abuse and violence prevention.
