WATSONVILLE, Calif. — Dozens of blue pinwheels spin in the wind outside of CASA (Court-Appointed Special Advocates) of Santa Cruz County.
The pinwheels are a symbol of child abuse prevention throughout April, which is National Child Abuse Prevention Month.
This year's theme is "Powered by Hope, Strengthened by Prevention."
The local social services organization is shifting the focus from the trauma of abuse to preventative efforts, aiming to keep children from falling into the system.
