9th Circuit Juvenile Office

04/10/2026

April is Child Abuse Awareness Month. On Friday, April 10, 2026, agencies from the 9th Circuit came together in support of Go Blue Day—a day
dedicated to raising awareness and showing our commitment to protecting children in our communities.

Representatives included the 9th Circuit Juvenile Office, 9th Circuit Children’s Division, Linn County 911 Central Dispatch, Linn County Sheriff’s Department, Brookfield Police Department, Linn County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office, and the Marceline Police Department.

Child abuse prevention starts with strong communities. By supporting families, increasing awareness, and working together across agencies, we can help ensure children grow up in safe, stable, and nurturing environments. Everyone has a role to play—whether it’s recognizing the signs of abuse, offering support to families, or speaking up when something doesn’t seem right.

Together, we stand united in our efforts to promote child safety, strengthen families, and prevent abuse and neglect.

Thank you, Rebeccah for taking the photo.

Our 2025 Linn County Kids Christmas Project is in full swing! In 2024, with the help of generous sponsors, we were able to provide Christmas gifts for over 250 local children!! It makes us incredibly happy to have the opportunity to provide this resource for the community and we are well on our way to surpassing last year's totals, with 200+ kiddos already signed up and 3 weeks left until sign-ups close.

If you or your business is interested in sponsoring a kiddo or two (or ten!) this Christmas, please use the link below to sign up! We could never do what we do without the support of the community! You all come through for us every year, and we are incredibly grateful for it!

If you would like to sponsor for the 2025 Kids Christmas event, please complete this form. We can't thank you enough for your support, without community support this event would not be possible each year! Gifts need to be provided to the Juvenile Office by Friday, December 5, 2025.
