IT IS OUR RESPONSIBILITY TO PROTECT INNOCENT CHILDREN
- We must learn what we’re up against.
- We must instill in our children that their bodies and those of other people deserve respect
- We must teach ourselves, our family, our friends, and our children how to deter and detect abuse.
- We must advocate for policies and procedures to be put in place for all organizations that work with children to better protect them.
- We must be proactive.
- We must be fearless if the time comes that we suspect abuse, no matter who it is – a spouse, friend, or person of authority.
- We must report and protect.
- We must all work together
