Prevent Child Abuse Oregon Pinwheels for Prevention®
Prevent Child Abuse Oregon Pinwheels for Prevention® The Campaign The Children’s Trust Fund of Oregon and Prevent Child Abuse Oregon are excited to present Pinwheels for Prevention.® The pinwheel serves as the symbol for child abuse and neglect prevention in Oregon as part of the Prevent Child Abuse America national campaign. Pinwheel gardens are one of Prevent Child Abuse Oregon’s efforts to publicize community activities and public policies that protect vulnerable children, strengthen families, and prioritize prevention. Nearly 900,000 pinwheels have been displayed nationwide since April 2008. We invite you to join us in showing your support for children’s healthy development and growth! Implementation The Pinwheels for Prevention campaign strives to engage community members and build awareness of the importance of child abuse prevention. Across the state, a variety of organizations, including nonprofits, hospitals, Tribal organizations, and local businesses participate in the Pinwheels for Prevention® campaign by planting pinwheel gardens. The number of pinwheels planted in a garden typically corresponds with the number of children served in the community. A pinwheel may represent a healthy birth, a child participating in therapeutic daycare services at a relief nursery, or a new parent educated in the dangers of shaken baby syndrome. There is a great degree of flexibility in the definition of what each pinwheel represents. Above all, please ensure that the symbol of the pinwheel is positive, and represents healthy and safe children. Planting a pinwheel garden not only raises awareness about child abuse prevention but can provide essential information and resources about the direct service available to children and families in the community, including home visitation programs, parent education classes, and intensive services like Oregon’s relief nurseries. Ordering Pinwheels Please submit order forms to the Children’s Trust Fund of Oregon to order pinwheels. The Children’s Trust Fund will accept order forms starting in January through the end of April. Order forms can be downloaded from www.ctfo.org.

Fast Facts – Child Abuse in Oregon Prevalence of Child Abuse • In 2013, 10,630 Oregon children were confirmed victims of abuse, or the equivalent of more than 170 school buses full of children. Nearly half of these children were under the age of six. 1 • There were over 27,000 investigations of suspected child abuse in Oregon during 2013. More than twice as many reports of suspected abuse were made in the same year. 2 • Ten children in Oregon died from abuse in 2013. Almost three-quarters of these children were under the age of 6. This is more than the average number of children who die from all forms of childhood cancer in Oregon each year. 3 Consequences of Child Abuse • Child abuse costs the U.S. an estimated $80 billion each year in child welfare, foster care, law enforcement, criminal justice and special education. 4 • Studies have found abused and neglected children to be at least 25 % more likely to experience problems such as delinquency, teen pregnancy, low academic achievement, drug use and mental health problems. 5 • Research suggests about one-third of all individuals who were abused or neglected as children will subject their children to maltreatment. This cycle of abuse can occur when children who either experienced maltreatment or witnessed violence between their parents or caregivers learn violent behavior and learn to consider it appropriate. 6 • Abused and neglected children were 11 times more likely to be arrested for criminal behavior as a juvenile, and 2.7 times more likely to be arrested for violent and criminal behavior as an adult. 7 Successful Prevention of Child Abuse • Families receiving the wrap-around prevention services offered through Oregon’s relief nurseries reported an almost 100% decrease in incidents of child abuse and neglect and an almost 100% decline in foster-care placements. 8 • Families learning positive parenting skills through home visitation programs saw more than a twothirds decrease in behavioral and learning problems among children. 9 • Parents enrolled in parenting classes were better able to model positive skills for their children and as a result their children’s disruptive behavior in school decreased by nearly half. 10 1 2013 Child Welfare Databook.
