CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas — In honor of Child Abuse Awareness Month, CASA of the Coastal Bend and other non profit organizations came together for the "Ringing of the Bells".
Cassie Bonilla with CASA said that the event is meant to help bring awareness to the issue of child abuse.
"There's a lot of stuff that happens behind closed doors people don't know," Bonilla said. "Kids are hurting or sometimes they just don't know what resources are available. So we are here to bring awareness to CASA and all the other organizations on behalf of keeping the kids safe."
Additionally, organizers also placed over 300 pinwheels in the ground, representing over 900 children who have been placed in foster.
