THOMASVILLE, Ga. (WTXL) - Folks in Thomasville are joining together to raise awareness about child abuse.
A pinwheel ceremony was held Monday afternoon to kick off April's Child Abuse Awareness Month.
Since inception seven years ago, the Treehouse Children's Advocacy Center in Thomasville has worked 827 cases.
It's a number, they say, is far too many.
A big focus was on victims who currently don't have help.
"We're also here to take a stand for those children we don't know about yet. The ones who have not gained the courage to tell," said Jackla Lawson, the executive director of The Treehouse. "The ones who have not had an adult speak up for them."
The blue pinwheels can be seen at many different businesses throughout Thomasville and Thomas County.
