News Release of PSAs apr. The Illinois Department of Children and Family Services today unveiled a series of public service announcements developed by some of Illinois' top advertisers to launch a new attack on child abuse, with a focus on abuse by live-in boyfriends.
Violence inflicted on children is intolerable.
If you suspect it, report it. One moment of uncontrolled rage has too often resulted in the injuries and deaths of children. These public service announcements are one more way to make the public aware of the role that 'mother's boyfriend' plays in some of the most heinous child abuse cases. Under state law, child deaths resulting from abuse or neglect are reviewed by a child death review team in the region where the death occurred. We can't reinforce enough the importance of combating this social tragedy.
