For the last 40 years, Child Abuse Prevention Month has been observed during April here in the United States.

As today kicks off this month of awareness, Idaho Matters sat down with Roger Sherman, the Executive Director of the Idaho Children's Trust Fund, and Kim Hemmert, the Grants Manager for the trust fund, to talk more about the importance of this work.
