statistics are alarming; experts estimate one in ten (1-in-10) children
will be sexually abused before their eighteenth birthday. The
Metropolitan YMCA of the Oranges will be holding a Prevent Now!
Community Awareness Meeting to address this community issue on March 28,
2014, 10am-12pm at Prospect Presbyterian Church located at 646 Prospect
Street in Maplewood, New Jersey. The workshop is aimed at helping
people understand the problem of child sexual abuse, and how we can all
work together to keep our children safe. The event is free and open to
the public, however, registration is required. Please visit
http://www.metroymcas.org/preventnow to register.
Why child sexual abuse prevention? The Metro YMCAs of the Oranges believes protecting children from sexual abuse is an adult responsibility. As adults, we strap children into car seats, we hold their hand across busy streets, and ask where they are going and who they will be with - all to keep them safe. As adults, we must also take steps to protect them from sexual abuse. |
