If you make your way around the downtown Clinton Square and you notice pinwheels spinning, that is a reminder of what April is all about for a local non-profit aimed at helping abused children.

April is Child Abuse Awareness month and the Children's Advocacy Centers are forming pinwheel gardens in their respective service areas as a visual reminder. According to Executive Director of the Children's Advocacy Center, Judy Brucker, they will have one up in downtown Clinton.

Brucker hopes the pinwheel gardens will bring about awareness of a problem that has local relevance, but also international relevance as well.

The pinwheel gardens along with the "We Exist" campaign stems from a project taken up in the Chicago area. Brucker indicates she thought it was a great idea and wanted to piggy-back the idea.

The pinwheel gardens will remain up throughout the month of April.
