Seems like it's either Pickle Day or Fork Lift Operator Month or some such, every time the calendar page turns over.
This month is one we might take notice of: National Child Abuse Prevention Month. Here's something you can do in observance that is so easy it barely counts as bold. But it's important: Go to the site of the Child Abuse Prevention Center and take the Never-Shake-A-Baby pledge, on the right below the kiddo with enormous eyes and a pacifier. Raising awareness of the danger will help to educate and pacify babysitters and parents who have run out of patience.
Here are a few other actions you can take. Intervening in child abuse is truly bold.

Thank you so much for raising awareness and educating others about this very violent form of child abuse that affects many vulnerable infants and children each year. As the mother of a child who was diagnosed with Shaken Baby Syndrome, your efforts are very appreciated.
Sincerely,

I have worked with the Child Abuse Prevention Center. They provide life changing care and education for the moms. It is hard to believe, yet true, that some people don't know you shouldn't shake a baby!
Thank you for helping.
