Prevent Abuse

 In the United States… 1 in 4 girls and 1 in 6 boys are sexually abused before the age of 18
 1 in 5 children experiences an attempted sexual solicitation while on the Internet
 Nearly 70% of all reported sexual assaults (including assaults on adults) are on children ages 17 and under.

In Texas… 195 Texas children on average, will be victims of abuse each day 70,000 cases of child abuse were confirmed in Texas in one year 64 Children's Advocacy Centers are in the State of Texas which is more than any other state in the nation Steps to Prevent Child Abuse

Listen to your childTalking with your child and listening to what he or she has to say is the first step in preventing abuse. Know who is in contact with your childMost abusers are someone the child or family knows and trusts. Avoid one adult/one child situations

Drop in on situations where your child may be alone with another adult (even close family members). Monitor your child’s Internet and cell phone use
Offenders often use the web and text messaging to lure them into physical contact. Offer and ask for help
Curb stressful situations and one adult/one child contact by assisting friends, neighbors and family members with child supervision. Also, ask for help when children are left in your care. Educate your child
Teach your child about their body and the difference between appropriate and inappropriate touches. They should also know that inappropriate touches could occur with strangers, a family member, adult friend or an older youth. Teach your child that it is okay to tell another safe adult and give them multiple options of safe adults.

 Give your child permission to say “No”

A child should be able to set their own boundaries whether or not they are comfortable around an adult. Allow them to say “No” if they do not want to be alone with or hug/kiss another adult.

Thank you HP School Supply Sponsor

The Hewlett Packard Community in Austin, Texas showed the Manor ISD what a Texas size heart looks like when they filled box after box with school supplies for kids who had an "incomplete list". Their "random acts of kindness" were not press-released in the usual loud and proud PR custom.
 
You may never see the smiles on the students faces, but you know that the law of reciprocity is as certain as gravity.

A Texas size THANK YOU to all y'all
