B

And
we're
here
today
to
bring
attention
to
the
issue
of
child
abuse
and
its
prevention.
We
have
a
number
of
speakers
lined
up
our
pinwheel
planning
ceremony
and
later
we
have
a
little
special
presentation
before
everybody
here
today.
So
with
that
said,
I
want
to
jump
right
into
the
program.
Our
first
speaker
will
provide
open
remarks
and
the
reading
of
our
proclamations,
please
welcome
chairman
of
the
board
of
Atlantic
County
Commissioners,
commissioner
John
vision.
C
Thank
you
in
the
morning,
we're
here
this
morning
to
recognize
the
importance
of
this
issue
and
we
certainly
pray
for
all
those
abused
children
around
the
world
and
hopefully
they
will
receive
some
relief
using
a
child
is
probably
one
of
the
worst
things.
I
can
think
of
that
can
happen
and
we
as
a
community.
We
as
a
county,
are
recognizing
this
month,
and
we
want
to
say
that
when
you
see
something
again
say
something
whether
you
do
it
up
front,
whether
you
do
it
confidentially,
it
needs
to
be
done.
C
Our
children
are
precious
to
us.
So
I'm
going
to
read
this
Proclamation
on
behalf
of
the
Atlantic
County
by
our
County
Executive
Dennis
Levinson,
whereas
childhood
trauma,
including
abuse
and
neglect,
is
a
serious
problem
that
cuts
across
all
demographic
areas
and
can
result
in
long-term
physiological,
emotional
and
physical
effects
on
its
victims
and
whereas
adverse
childhood
experiences
results
in
enduring
Health
impacts
and
increased
costs
to
society,
whereas
Child
Abuse
Prevention
is
a
community
responsibility
and
finding
Solutions
requires
individuals
to
become
involved.
C
B
D
I
do
miss
my
family
days
on
behalf
of
the
assignment
judge,
Lee
and
John
Thomas,
who
is
our
family
director,
we're
here
to
show
our
support?
I
think
children
in
court
cases
for
five
and
a
half
years
and
I
can
say
it
was
probably
the
most
rewarding
yet.
D
Product
and
everything
you
can
imagine
and
I'd
have
to
say
that
I
would
not
have
been
able
to
do
it
as
a
judge
if
it
wasn't
for
all
the
Community
Partners
that
we
have
this
is
concerned.
Workers
go
out
to
these
homes
take
out
the
door.
They
have
no
idea
what
they're
going
to
find
they're
so
brave.
We
have
classes
here,
they're,
wonderful,
they're,
volunteers
should
give
them
a
voice,
and
the
whole
community
I
think
is
comes
together
to
help
these
children
and
it
was
probably
the
most
rewarding
part
of
being
exactly
someday.
D
B
About
about
what
the
purpose
of
the
day
event
is,
thank
you.
E
Thank
you
good
afternoon,
everyone.
It
was
a
pleasure
to
be
here
I,
you
know,
I
just
have
to
say
thank
you
to
Curry
and
Dina
and
to
Rob
and
to
Linda
and
Heather
for
the
putting
such
an
awesome
event
together.
Kurt
said
that
he
does
his
best
thinking
on
the
weekend
and
he
wasn't
lying
just
turned
out
to
be
very,
very
nice.
So
thank
you
very
much
for
partnering
with
us
on
this
I'm
Veronica
Ford
I
am
the
vice
president
of
prevent
child
abuse.
New,
Jersey
and
I'm
here
with
my
colleague,
Pamela
stalk.
E
E
This
is
child
abuse,
conventional
and
SPCA
and
J.
We
promote
we
build
fighter
futures
for
children
by
promoting
Family,
Wellness
and
positive
parenting
and
by
promoting
healthy
child
development
as
well
as
nurturing
communities
and
we're
here
today,
because
it
is
challenges,
prevention
and
the
United
States
has
been
celebrating
Adventure
months
since
1983.
E
and
we're
here,
because
we
want
to
promote
awareness
of
child
abuse
and
we
want
to
prevent
child
abuse.
So
when
you
look
at
the
pinwheel
and
history
of
the
pinwheel,
is
that
it's
a
Whimsical,
free
fun
makes
you
smile
type
of
symbol.
So
when
you
pick
up
a
pinwheel,
its
meaning
is
just
having
a
free
childhood,
where
our
children
are
Whimsical
and
happy
and
loving.
We
want
to
provide
them
with
that
nurturing,
so
they
can
have
childhoods
that
are
free
from
abuse
and
neglect.
E
I
came
across
a
a
poem
and
it's
called
children
R
and
the
author
made
G
Stewart
outlined
pretty
much
gave
us
the
ABC
A
through
Z
of
how
we
can
nurture
and
love
our
kids,
and
it
says
children
are
amazing,
cherish
them,
believable
trust
them
childlike.
Let
them
Divine
respect
them,
energetic
nurse
them
valuable,
embrace
them
hear
now
be
with
them.
Innocent
Enlighten
them
joyful
appreciate
them.
E
F
All

F

a
lot
with

because
they
are
the
ones
who
provide
direct
to
one
of
the
agencies

it
in

many
different
ways.
We
