HOUSE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION
|
|
|
WHEREAS, Children are the Lone Star State's most precious |
|
|
resource, and their protection and care are the concerns of every |
|
|
Texan; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Traumatic brain injury is the predominant cause of |
|
|
death and permanent disability among children nationwide, and an |
|
|
increased public awareness of the means of preventing these |
|
|
tragedies is surely a worthwhile priority; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, The risk of accidental injury and death to children |
|
|
can be greatly reduced by the use of such commonsense measures as |
|
|
bicycle helmets, seat belts, safety and booster seats, and smoke |
|
|
alarms, and disseminating helpful information about such measures |
|
|
is an efficient and economical means of preserving the health and |
|
|
well-being of our youth; moreover, more lives can be spared if the |
|
|
public becomes better informed about the dangers presented to |
|
|
children by unattended and unlocked vehicles; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Ensuring that the young people of Texas grow up in a |
|
|
safe and supportive environment is a goal that is both attainable |
|
|
and desirable, and we join such public-spirited institutions as the |
|
|
Texas Office for Prevention of Developmental Disabilities, Texas |
|
|
Scottish Rite Hospital for Children, and the Rotary Club of Dallas |
|
|
in seeking to further this vital mission; now, therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the 80th Legislature of the State of Texas |
|
|
hereby designate April 2007 as Child Safety Month in Texas. |
