Friday, North Texas volunteers will spread awareness of child abuse by reading the names and ages of 27,484 children who experienced abuse in Dallas County last year.
Because these children are minors and their identities must be protected, “Jane” and “John” will be used in place of their names.
It would take more than 24 hours to through the thousands of names, so the effort is being divided among various locations around Dallas County. Each location will read approximately 3,436 names over the course of 4 hours. “DCAC hopes that with the relaunch of the Save Jane Awareness campaign, North Texans will recognize the absolute urgency of child abuse issues in Dallas County,” said Irish Burch, Dallas Children’s Advocacy Center President and CEO. “When you let it soak in that it takes more than 24 straight hours to call out the names of each child victim, it’s heart-wrenching.
