During the day on April 24, 2024, Prevention Educators from the Knox County Child Advocacy Center will be here to give a presentation to our students on Personal Body Safety. They will be reading a book and going over a presentation with the children that is designed for their age group. They will also have a short discussion on safe and unsafe touches, and the “No, Go, Tell” rule. This is not a sex education or body identification talk in any way, only a prevention presentation to help innocent children protect themselves without scaring them.
A child can be abused anywhere and at any time, and abusers do not look different than anyone else. Child sexual abuse is more common than many people would like to think, and its effects can be devastating. One in four girls and one in six boys will be sexually abused by age 18.
For more information on the presentations at Steele, please read the attached letters in English, Spanish and French. For more information on Erin's Law, visit: https://www.erinslaw.org/.
