In the Federal fiscal year 2022, the Texas Department of Family & Protective Services confirmed 56,944 victims of child abuse or neglect, including 1,027 in Orange County. We must work together as a community to increase awareness about child abuse and promote the social and emotional well-being of children and families in a safe, stable, nurturing environment.
Mayor Larry Spears Jr. has proclaimed April 2023 as Child Abuse Awareness & Prevention Month in the City of Orange and urges all citizens to recognize this month by dedicating ourselves to the task of improving the quality of life for all children and families.
A copy of the proclamation was presented to Codie Vasquez, Executive Director at CASA of the Sabine Neches Region, by Mayor Larry Spears Jr., City of Orange.
