Recognizing
Ohio Child Abuse Prevention Month.

WHEREAS,
The members of the House of Representatives of the 136th General
Assembly of Ohio are pleased to recognize April as Ohio Child Abuse
Prevention Month 2025; and

WHEREAS,
The incidents and prevalence of child abuse and neglect have reached
alarming proportions, and in an effort to address this issue,
Governor Mike DeWine designated April 2025 as Ohio Child Abuse
Prevention Month. During the month of April each year, various
educational activities and events are coordinated in an effort to
seek and apply solutions to this escalating problem; and

WHEREAS,
Childhood is a formative time, and communities, family members,
educators, public officials, and faith-based organizations all play
important roles in helping to ensure that our children are safe and
can grow surrounded by love and stability. Every Ohioan has a
responsibility to support children and promote stable families across
our state; and

WHEREAS,
Child abuse prevention is one of the most critical issues we can
address for the long-term prosperity of our country. Effective child
development is hindered by toxic stress resulting from abuse and
neglect, yet we can strive for a more promising future for this next
generation of leaders by encouraging parental resiliency, social
connection, concrete support, and knowledge of the social and
emotional aspects of parenting. We hold sacred the trust of Ohio’s
most valuable resource, our children, and the future of our country
depends on the opportunities we provide them today; therefore be it

RESOLVED,
That we, the members of the House of Representatives of the 136th
General Assembly of Ohio, in adopting this Resolution, recognize
April 2025 as Ohio Child Abuse Prevention Month; and be it further

RESOLVED,
That the Clerk of the House of Representatives transmit duly
authenticated copies of this Resolution to the news media of Ohio.
