SUMMARY: In Gulfport, Parker Boyd WLOX news covers the Hancock County Courthouse going blue to represent the beginning of Child Abuse Prevention Month. Hope Haven Children’s Advocacy Center hosted a Pinwheels for Prevention ceremony, with community leaders planting pinwheels to symbolize the importance of providing a safe environment for children. The ceremony was attended by district officials, including the District Attorney’s Office and Bay St. Louis Police Chief Toby Schwartz. The goal is to ensure that no abuse allegations slip through the cracks and to prioritize the health and safety of children in the community. Hope Haven is one of 11 Children’s Advocacy Centers in Mississippi working towards prevention efforts in Hancock County.

Wednesday’s windy weather was made useful for the dozens of pinwheels outside of the Hancock County courthouse.
