Parents Should Know
In light of the recent local and national headlines pertaining to child sexual abuse, we have included some information & links you may find helpful.
Facts Parents Should Know:
- All adults have a responsibility to learn the signs of abuse and to be vigilant in protecting children.
- Stranger danger is real, but it is a factor in a much smaller percentage of sexual abuse cases; 93% of sexual abuse cases involve a person close and known to a child.
- Sex offenders are clever about finding opportunities to have access to children and to groom adults to lower their boundaries about contact with their children in the same way that they groom children for sexual contact. All parents should sense a "red flag" if any adult (friend, coach, minister, teacher, or family member) seeks to spend significant amounts of time alone with your child.
- It is the not the responsibility of the child to keep themselves safe, it is an adults.
- Children are not responsible for their own protection. However, it is important to teach all children about safe and unsafe touches and who to go to for help if they are made uncomfortable by a touch.
- Abuse can happen to any child, regardless of wealth.
