Last night I went to a lecture about sexual abuse. It's a super high anxiety topic for me. Even blogging about it makes me anxious. But I learned some things that are so important, I wanted to share them.
#1 Talk to your children. Tell them their bodies are made in G-d's image and no one can touch them. Use age-appropriate language.
#2 Make your kids feel safe with you so they can speak to you about issues.
#3 If, G-d forbid, your child comes to you and tells you they're a victim, don't overreact, don't freak out, just be calm and take appropriate action. Tell the child how much you love her and IT'S NOT HER FAULT.
#4 With love and support, childhood victims can grow into healthy adults.
May G-d protect us all.
Love, Maven @

Yes, may God belss us all! We must protect our kids from these creeps at all costs! No more sweeping under the rug and protecting these ass holes by the frum establishment! If you molest a child, you should rot in jail!!!! Period.
