Phoenix Children’s Hospital shines spotlight on child abuse

Arizona Central reports on Phoenix Hospital’s month of raising awareness on child abuse:

In the lobby of Phoenix Children’s Hospital, you will find a small collection of used and new shoes, each one telling a story.

White booties in memory of a 2-month-old boy who was shaken by his father, light brown sandals in memory of a “little golden haired girl” who didn’t survive and little white dress shoes that were dropped off by grandparents in memory of their granddaughter whose legs were amputated as an infant.

All of the shoes have one theme in common: child abuse.

As part of Child Abuse Prevention Month, Phoenix Children’s Hospital is asking people to donate a pair of shoes in honor of a victim of child abuse for their Children’s March on Child Abuse event.
