CROWN POINT â Several Region leaders and child advocates gathered to put a spotlight on child abuse prevention and awareness in a candlelight vigil.Â
The Candlelight Vigil for Victims of Child Abuse was held Wednesday evening at the old Lake County Courthouse in downtown Crown Point.
In light of April being child abuse prevention month, Geminus Community Partners, Indiana Department of Child Services, CASA, and Kids First Trust Fund collaborated to create an event that memorialized children who have died from abuse and spread awareness on the issue.
