April is National Child Abuse Prevention Month. Our interns are pictured with the “Pinwheels of Possibility.” The pinwheel represents the carefree, safe life that every child deserves.

Throughout this month, we recognize the importance of prevention, early intervention, and community awareness. Reporting concerns, supporting families, and staying informed are critical steps in protecting children and strengthening our community.

If you suspect a child is being abused or neglected, please report it. Speaking up can make all the difference.

Together, we can help ensure that every child has the opportunity to grow, thrive, and succeed.

PRESS RELEASE:

On April 9, 2025, a jury convicted Daniel Martin of Aggravated Domestic Battery, Domestic Battery, Interference with Law Enforcement and Aggravated Intimidation of a Witness.

On June 12, 2023, deputies with the Jackson County Sheriff’s Office were dispatched to a residence in Holton for a domestic disturbance.

Once in custody, an investigation revealed Mr. Martin attempted to dissuade the victim from testifying through multiple calls from the jail.

After the verdict at trial, Mr. Martin was remanded back into custody and his case was set for sentencing.
