Be on the lookout for a couple dozen blue kids in Western Illinois.

These life-size silhouettes of children can be see all around the area to bring awareness to child abuse.

April is Child Abuse and Prevention month, and abuse is not just a problem that happens in cities. It happens here at home too.

That's why local police agencies and the Children's Action Network reminds you if you see child abuse, or think it's happening to someone you know, to turn it in.
