Greene County Children Services staff plant 1,000 blue pinwheels in front of its offices on Ledbetter Road on a snowy April 2. The planting of the pinwheels marks the beginning of National Child Abuse Prevention Month with each pinwheel representing a voice — 1,421 to be exact — that spoke out in concern for the safety of Greene County children in 2017.
