Nearly 1,000 students from schools across the Bronx marched to Yankee Stadium Thursday to bring awareness to the issue of child sex abuse.
Students from P.S. 55 started the "Kids Care Walk" four years ago after receiving sexual abuse prevention and personal safety education classes from nonprofit Lauren's Kids, which is sponsored by the Yankees.
The march has since spread to include seven schools around the Bronx.
After walking for nearly two hours, the kids got to go inside and watch Thursday's Yankee game.
