CHRISTIANSBURG – On Saturday, April 4, 2025, the Christiansburg Police Department and other Town of Christiansburg employees joined representatives from Montgomery County Department of Social Services and the National White Collar Crime Center (NW3C) in wearing blue to represent a commitment to preventing child abuse and placing pinwheels, all part of Wear Blue Day in recognition of April as Child Abuse Prevention month.
The community can help spot and report signs of child abuse. A few signs are unexplained injuries, changes in behavior, returning to earlier behaviors, fear of going home, changes in eating, changes in sleeping, changes in school performance and attendance, lack of personal care or hygiene, risk-taking behaviors and/or inappropriate sexual behaviors.
Contact your local police department if you suspect any abuse of a child.
