Did you know that every 98 seconds an American is sexually assaulted and that every 8 minutes that victim is a child? And that of the sexual abuse cases reported to law enforcement, 93% of juvenile victims knew the perpetrator? Join them to learn more about child sexual abuse and what you can do to keep children safe.  

Topics Covered:  

• Extent of the problem – who the offenders are and why they molest children.  

• Common seduction, manipulation, and “grooming” tactics used by offenders.  

• Talking to children about abuse and people with “secret touching problems.” 

• Practical child and family “rules” for safety.  

• Responding to child sexual abuse disclosures and reporting child abuse.
