April is Child Abuse Awareness and Prevention Month.

April is Child Abuse Awareness and Prevention Month, a time for communities to come together and advocate for the safety and well-being of children. In Seguin, this message is being shared in a powerful and heartfelt way.

The Seguin Police Department, in partnership with the Guadalupe County Children’s Advocacy Center (GCCAC), recently placed 903 pinwheels along State Hwy 123 Bypass—each one representing a child they served in 2024. These pinwheels serve as a reminder of the importance of protecting our children and ensuring they have the safe, happy childhoods they deserve.

A Community That Cares

The pinwheels are more than just a display—they symbolize hope, resilience, and the commitment of Seguin’s community to stand against child abuse. Every child should grow up in a home filled with love, care, and security. By raising awareness, supporting organizations like the GCCAC, and speaking up when we see signs of abuse or neglect, we can help make a difference.

How You Can Help

If you suspect abuse or neglect, it’s crucial to say something. Reporting concerns can save a child’s life and provide them with the support they need to heal and thrive.

To report abuse, call:
Texas Abuse Hotline: 1-800-252-5400
Or visit txabusehotline.org to submit a report online.

Seguin: A Town of Action and Compassion

Seguin has always been a community that looks out for one another, and this initiative is another example of that. Let’s continue to raise awareness, support our local advocates, and ensure that every child in Seguin grows up safe, loved, and protected.

Together, we can make a difference!
