292 Blue Flags – CAC Program Director Britney Martin, Ector Police Chief JD Connerley and CASA Program Director Sandy Hood are pictured with 292 Blue Flags, one for each child who was an alleged victim of child abuse last year in Fannin County.

This display for Child Abuse Awareness Month started in Ector and was later moved by Children’s Center staff to Bonham. Throughout the rest of April, the display will continue to move around the county, making stops in Leonard, Trenton, Savoy, Honey Grove and Ladonia.

Bonham Police Chief Mike Bankston is also pictured with the 292 Blue Flags, which were placed at Simpson Park in Bonham.

Each Blue Flag has the slogan “No Excuse for Child Abuse” on them. To learn more about the signs of child abuse and how to report suspicions, go to www.noexcuse4childabuse.org.
