PENNSYLVANIA

Experts have said child abuse is a crime — its very nature something no one wants to talk about.
It affects every ethnicity and economic class, and is something that happens every day in Pennsylvania and across the country.
April is National Child Abuse Prevention Month and Attorney General Kathleen G. Kane encourages all Pennsylvanians to do their part this month and throughout the year to make the commonwealth a safe and nurturing place for children. National Child Abuse Prevention Month is a nationwide campaign designed to acknowledge the importance of families and communities working together to prevent abuse and neglect, and to promote the social and emotional well-being of children.
Kane said by providing parents, educators and community leaders with the skills and resources they need to properly raise and care for children, child abuse can be substantially decreased.
