To truly protect children from abuse, we must raise awareness of how widespread and dangerous the issues of child sexual abuse and child sex trafficking are in our community. Once abuse has occurred, there is no taking it back. These are experiences that will change the rest of a child’s life. Every child matters. It is the responsibility of every member of our community to keep as many children safe as possible. Please help us prevent this abuse before it starts. Our children depend on you.
