Simple Tips to Prevent Sexual Abuse of Children

Clear cut tips to prevent child sexual abuse from Darkness to Light (www.d2l.org

1. Drop in unexpectedly when the child is alone with any adult, even trusted family members.

2. Make sure outings are observable, if not by you, then by ot
hers.
Ask the adult about the specifics of the planned activities before the child leaves your care. Notice the adult's ability to be specific.

3. Talk with the child when he or she returns. Notice the child's mood and whether the child can tell you with confidence how the time was spent.

4. Find a way to tell the adults who care for children that you and the child are educated about child sexual abuse. Be that direct.
