Get to know your neighbors through regular visits or gatherings, exchange contact information in case of emergency, volunteer to help each other out with errands and housework. If possible find out what areas of the neighborhood are not safe and teach children to stay away from those areas. Do not allow children to stay out late, especially after dark. Teach children to stay in groups and to not go anywhere with people they don't know. Be involved in your children's lives; get to know their friends and their parents.

4 children die every day in this country from child abuse. Experts estimate 3 million cases of child abuse each year but Experts say the number is three times higher at 9 million. This is at epidemic proportions in the U.S. It costs this country 94 billion dollars each year, or $258 million a day in child abuse. Children are the world's greatest natural resource and must be protected above all else. Join us today in our fight to protect them. www.ChildrenWithoutAVoiceUSA.org There are 12 million orphans in Africa. There are an estimated 9 million of child abuse cases each year in THIS country. This is at epidemic proportions.

Make every parent you know aware of the dangers and the statistics of child abuse. 1 in 6 girls, and 1 in 7 boys will be sexually assaulted by their 18th birthday. A good place to look for information on child predators and how to keep children safe from them is http://www.warriorsforinnocence.org/. This organization does a lot of research and work in the fight against child sexual abuse, and they have so much information posted to inform parents and anyone else with children in their lives on how to protect their children. A lot of the information about this is frightening and very disturbing, but I believe it is necessary for everyone to be aware of just how despicable child predators are. Knowledge is power, and knowing the tricks they use to gain access to children is key in prevention. Warriors For Innocence has articles that will help you spot "grooming" methods used by predators here: http://www.warriorsforinnocence.org/2006/09/grooming-articles.html Email this link to everyone you know who has children in their lives.
