Silence allows abuse to continue. It only helps the offender and hurts the victims.
The world is a dangerous place, not because of those who do evil, but because of those who look on and do nothing.
~ Albert Einstein
Prevent, recognize, report and respond to abuse.
You can never determine whether someone is a danger to your children simply by their appearance or the things that they do, the good deeds they do. In fact, oftentimes it is those appearances and good deeds that are the necessary deception techniques for these individuals to access our children.
~ Basyle ’Boz’ Tchividjian, J.D
