Why BLUE
In the spring of 1989, a Virginia grandmother (
Bonney Finney )
began the Blue Ribbon Campaign as a tribute to her grandson. The 3-year-old died at the hands of his mother’s abusive boyfriend. The Blue Ribbon Campaign is a memorial to children who have been touched by abuse and neglect, and a reminder that everyone has a job to do to prevent the maltreatment of children.
Bonney Finney said: "I just decided I was going to tie a blue ribbon on my van. Why blue? I intend never to forget the battered, bruised bodies of my grandchildren. Blue serves as a constant reminder to me to fight for protection for our children.
Blue serves as a constant reminder to me to fight for our children."
"Please wear a blue ribbon.put one on your car.give one to your friends.tell them what it means. You may save a child's life! If you suspect ANYTHING is happening to your children.your grandchildren.the child next door.PLEASE ACT! If you get no response, try again! You may not hear their screams.you may not see their bruises.so check for the pain and the screams in their eyes. Watch for the screams in their eyes."
