There is at least one pinwheel for every child Canopy saw last year.
CLEVELAND — The Canopy Child Advocacy Center told News 5 it took on 500 of those kids last year. Now, each of those kids is represented in a Pinwheel Garden at Huntington Park as the nation honors April as Child Abuse Awareness Month.
“There is one pinwheel at minimum for every child that canopy saw last year,” said Jennifer Johnson, Executive Director of Canopy Child Advocacy Center. “It was started years ago by someone who had experienced child abuse and was wanting to do something to honor her grandchildren, recognizing the fact that they had experienced child abuse, and she wasn't able to provide them a safety that she felt like they deserved.
“What is it? What does it look like? What does child abuse and neglect mean? I think that there is a misunderstanding that child abuse and neglect means a child has been physically abused and that's only one type of child abuse,” Leek shared. “The next layer is to also identify when a family needs support. Most situations with child abuse and neglect are not intended.
