MEDIA ADVISORY---“SEE SOMETHING, SAY SOMETHING…ABOUT CHILD ABUSE!”

NYS SENATOR ERIC ADAMS AND THE CHILD ABUSE PREVENTION PROGRAM (CAPP) WILL USE LIFE-SIZED PUPPETS TO KICK OFF NATIONAL CHILD ABUSE PREVENTION MONTH INITIATIVE

NYS Senator Eric Adams will partner with the Child Abuse Prevention Program (CAPP) to bring awareness to both adults and children on how to properly identify and report child abuse during Child Abuse Prevention Awareness month.  CAPP's Child Safety Workshops use life-sized puppets to teach children how to recognize, resist and report abuse.  This year, an emphasis will be placed on educating adults on the importance of proper reporting procedures, particularly through social media channels.
