This holiday season, give the gift of Knowing! Become aware and get educated. But most importantly, share the fact that the knowledge is indeed yours!! Perpetrators are less likely to target those who 'know'.
A few fast facts:
1 in 4 girls and 1 in 6 boys will become the victim of child sexual abuse before their 18th birthday.
Everyone knows someone, or knows someone that knows someone... that is either the victim or the abuser
The most commonly held myth may be the misconception that only men commit child sexual abuse
Just as misconstrued as the previous notion is the though that most incidents occur in dark alleys by a stranger
The #1 reason children don't tell is FEAR!! That fear exists in many forms
When children talk, they feel most comfortable confiding in confidants. True friends never judge!
Children that don't receive proper help after child sexual abuse, become adults with social/mental/physical issues
*April 8, 2009, President Barack Obama declared April as National Sexual Assault Awareness Month*
