April is sexual assault awareness month. The statistics are staggering and overwhelming. We are to the point in our history where 1 in 9 children will be sexually abused by an adult before the age of 18, according to RAINN. We are constantly caught in this push and pull of raising independent, well adjusted children, but also trying to protect them.
The scary fact for parents is that no matter how hard we try to protect our children, sexual abuse is not limited by race, religion, socioeconomic status, or gender. It has made its way into the fabric of our society, and it is a real threat to our children.
Will you be a voice for the voiceless?
