Protecting God's Children at IC Parish: Straight talk
        ~ Straight talk about child sexual abuse ~
 
Parenting is the most influential responsibility an adult undertakes in life. 

It is also the one job for which adults receive the least amount of training.


Society expects parents to know what to do, to always take
appropriate actions, and to behave daily in a manner that
provides a wonderful role model for their children. 

However, society does not provide parents the tools and skills
they need to live up to these expectations.


The first step to protecting children from sexual abuse is
educating parents about the nature of the problem.

Awareness about child sexual abuse — what it is and
who commits it — opens the door to some simple steps 
parents can take to protect children.

 
No one has more at stake or a more vested
interest in protecting children than
the people who gave them life and
your fellow parishioners at IC.
