April has been designated as National Child Abuse Prevention Month, serving as a crucial opportunity to raise awareness and promote efforts focused on the protection and well-being of children. On March 31st, Lawrenceburg’s Mayor Blake Lay, alongside Lawrence County Executive David Morgan, officially proclaimed April 2025 as Child Abuse Prevention Month for Lawrence County. This declaration also marks a significant milestone—the 25th anniversary of Kid’s Place/A Child Advocacy Center.
For a quarter of a century, Kid’s Place has played a vital role in supporting thousands of children and families across Giles, Lawrence, Maury, and Wayne Counties, which together form the 22nd Judicial District of Tennessee. The proclamation highlights the remarkable contributions of the staff and board members at Kid’s Place, as well as the essential collaboration with partners from the District Attorney’s office, child protective services, and law enforcement agencies. Their unwavering dedication is instrumental in helping children heal from the trauma of abuse and in mitigating its long-lasting effects.
