Child Protective Services case worker Tommy Allen, left, Executiver Director of Lake Country CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocate) Gina Law, and Franklin County Judge Jerry Hubbell join together for child abuse awareness. Judge Hubbell receives a blue ribbon pin. The CASA group placed cardboard cut outs of children on the lawn of the local Courthouse and blue ribbons on the hand rails to draw attention to child abuse during April - Child Abuse Prevention Month and the need for CASA volunteers.
