Child abuse Prevention and its Blue Ribbon Compaign began in 1989
as a Virginia grandmother's tribute to her grandson who died as a
result of abuse. She tied a blue ribbon to the antenna of her
car as a way to remember him and to alert her community
to the tragedy of child abuse. Since that time, the blue
ribbon has become a nationwide symbol for the fight against
child abuse and neglect.
