The Message Behind the Mesa County Just Center Blue Pinwheels
CASA and Ariel staff planted the pinwheels as a reminder of the young lives that may be impacted by abuse and neglect. A press release from CASA reads:
Mesa County has historically had higher rates of child maltreatment than the national average. We want the community to realize that child abuse and neglect isn’t just confined to a certain demographic, or a certain area of Mesa County. Child abuse can happen anywhere, in any type of family. It’s important to report suspected abuse or neglect, to let children and their families know there is help available, that as a community we care.”
