| SpeakingOut against Child Sexual Abuse, Inc. |
We are working vigorously to remove two of the greatest obstacles in protecting children from Sexual
Abuse…Denial and Lack of Education. Child Sexual Abuse is everyone's problem, and it will take
everyone fighting this fight to aid in the prevention of this horrific crime. As we raise public
awareness by educating all who will listen, we are working to break down the barrier of denial and
thus foresee that society will play a huge role in raising awareness and making America a safe place
for children.

It is our belief that, in most cases, Parents are not educated on
this topic until after a child has been sexually abused. And “the
systems” in place that are supposed to protect children from
sexual abuse can only do so much until after an allegation of Child
Sexual Abuse has been made. At that point, the child has already
been violated. SpeakingOut is working proactively to change the
order of when parents, caregivers, etc… get educated on this
topic. Our organization is working to create a paradigm shift in
society’s thinking about Child Sexual Abuse. The point is to get
educated before it happens, so that we have a better chance of
protecting children from this crime.

Child Sexual Abuse is a very sensitive topic and not something most people want to talk about or
think about. However, by not talking about Child Sexual Abuse, we as a society, make it very easy for
sexual predators of children to do what they do. Consider This… Children who are violated in this
horrific way have no choice but to think about it & in most cases will not tell anyone. These children
suffer alone. It is imperative for the safety of children… All Children, that we talk openly in our
homes and publicly about this crime…and it is a Crime!

According to Child Trends DataBank @ www.childtrendsdatabank.org, “In 2006, there were 73.7
million children under age 18 in the United States.” Therefore, there are currently over 73 million
children in the United States in which SpeakingOut has the opportunity to affect in a positive
way. In addition, the Parents of these children benefit from our organization by getting educated
on the crime of Child Sexual Abuse. Then with their knowledge on this rampant issue in today’s
society, Parents will feel equipped to raise awareness with their own children. Parents can
know the steps to take to protect their children. Last, but not least, anyone/everyone who works
with or around children will benefit from the information we provide. Child Trends DataBank
also estimates that by the year 2030, the number of children under age 18 is expected to grow to
85.7 million.”
The Annie E. Casey Foundation @ www.kidscount.org shows Child Population in 2005 was
73,469,984 in the United States…again reflecting over 73 million children under the age of 18.
Their 2005 data shows that of the over 73 million children in the United States, approximately
51% are boys and 49% are girls.
With approximately 73.7 million children in America, of which approximately 51% are boys
and 49% are girls, and taking into consideration the statistics of “1 out of every 5 boys” and
“1 out of every 3 girls” being sexually abused by their 18th birthday, we can estimate that the
number of children that are being and/or will be sexually violated during their childhood is in
the millions. This is completely unacceptable.
SpeakingOut is working to uncover this hidden crime and encourage
society to no longer just sweep this issue under the rug.
