Members of the Burnet County Child Welfare Board are reminding everyone that Friday is Go Blue Day, a day to wear blue in support of April as Child Abuse Prevention & Awareness Month. They hung shoes in the trees around the Burnet County Courthouse to highlight the number of children in foster care, the vulnerable population they serve in their efforts.

 

April is Child Abuse Prevention & Awareness Month all across America and the first Friday in April, April 6, is Go BLUE Day when people wear blue ribbons as a sign of awareness and pray for victims of abuse and neglect.

Right here in Burnet County three organizations are on the frontline of work toward one goal.

They are the Burnet County Child Welfare Board (BCCWB), the Hill Country Children's Advocacy Center (HCCAC) and Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA) for the Highland Lakes all are involved with protecting our most vulnerable children, those in the foster care system.

“While each has a specific role in that task, they are often misunderstood,” said Caroline Ragsdill, president of the BCCWB. “But each has a special role.”
