Truly, anyone can play a part in prevention of child abuse, and that includes you!

Here are some easy ways you can take steps to prevent child abuse today:

·       Pay attention to how our children’s play or meeting spaces are laid out, and make sure there are no out-of-view spaces where an abuser might take a child.

·       If you, your kids, or grandkids are involved in any after-school, sports, or church organizations, check to see if they have policies in place to protect against the possibility of abuse. If they do, ask how they enforce these policies. If they don't, directly suggest that they put some in place.

·       After you leave a kid with a childcare provider, make surprise visits once a child is in their care. Unfortunately, perpetrators are usually someone a child knows and can be found in youth sports leagues, after school programs, churches, recreation centers, schools, and… well you get the picture. It's up to us to be vigilant and proactive in reducing and recognizing risks.

- PLEASE SHARE!!!

The facts may startle you. More than one in ten children will be sexually abused before their 18th birthday.  Ninety percent (90%) of those are abused by someone they know.  Seventy-three percent (73%) do not tell anyone about the abuse for at least a year.  Some never tell.  The physical and psychological impacts of child sexual abuse last well into adulthood, affecting one’s social, emotional, educational and economic well-being. But child sexual abuse is preventable.  By learning the facts and taking steps to minimize opportunities and respond to suspicions and disclosures, adults can help keep all of our children safe!

Children's Center - Prevention and Education Program is offering the Stewards of Children - Prevention of child sexual abuse –Darkness to Light online workshop in English and Spanish for FREE.
