TYLER — A memorial to the 227 children who died of abuse and neglect in Texas in 2010 will be displayed from 9:00 to 11:30 this morning at Tyler’s Broadway Square Mall as part of National Child Abuse Awareness and Prevention Month in April. The Memorial to Abused and Neglected Children was created by Texas CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocates). According to CASA spokespeople, its purpose is to bring awareness about the epidemic of child abuse and neglect and children who die because they are not in safe, loving homes. The memorial is on a four-day, eight-stop tour through East Texas. The stop in Tyler is sponsored by CASA for Kids of East Texas.
