Wear Blue Today for Child Abuse Prevention

04/06/2026

April is Child Abuse Prevention Month 💙

Each of these 488 pinwheels represents something powerful — a voice that spoke up, a concern that wasn’t ignored, a child who mattered.

In 2025, Columbiana County Children Services opened and investigated 488 referrals of suspected child abuse or neglect. That’s 488 moments where someone chose to see something and say something.

Prevention starts with awareness, but it depends on action. It takes a community that’s willing to step forward, even when it’s hard.

If you see something, say something. You could change a child’s story.

Since 2020, 45% of the fatalities in Columbiana County investigated by children services were found to be due to unsafe sleep. 3 cases in 2025 and already 2 in 2026.
Each of these fatalities were preventable and as the child protection agency in Columbiana County it is our duty to educate whomever we can. This isn’t just educating mom and dad. It’s about educating grandparents, aunts, uncles, anyone who is a caregiver to the child.
Children Services will be at the Way Station in East Liverpool today from 10:00-2:00 and on April 24 at the Way Station in Columbiana from 10:00-2:00. Please come out and see us to learn more about safe sleep and the programs at the health department where qualified individuals can receive a car seat and/or pack in play
