By educating Parents on Child Sexual Abuse and encouraging them to talk to their own children, this in turn will raise awareness in
children. As this happens, we believe that this will help in reducing the number of unsuspecting children who are easy prey for Sexual
Predators. And by getting Parents to open up the communication line between them and their children about sexual abuse and
misconduct (what‘s appropriate & inappropriate), we believe that many children who are now being violated will feel safe to come
forward and "tell" on their abuser. In addition, this will help children understand this it is okay to say "No", even to an Authority Figure in
this case. They have that right!

By encouraging Parents to tell others, our goal is to get people to start talking openly about Child Sexual Abuse without the
shame that is generally associated with this topic. As people start talking openly, we as a society will begin to uncover this
horrific crime committed against innocent children of all ages.
