As Child Abuse Prevention Month kicked off, Nueces County on Monday honored children who were killed by their abusers in fiscal year 2017 by placing a blue pinwheel for each child on the county courthouse grounds.

Four of the pinwheels represented Nueces County children.

If one suspects a child is the victim of abuse, it’s important to report it, representatives with the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services said Monday.
