Don Mosley's Talk from 4-13-10

In addition to the information our speaker provided, Ralston House has many helpful resources and links on their website.  One of their listed links, Stop It Now!, includes some great and reassuring articles.  If you feel a little overwhelmed or discouraged thinking about your child's safety but need more information, I'd encourage you to check out their articles.  The site has specifics for preventing child sexual abuse in your church, including addressing safety with members who are known to have sexually abused children in the past.  Guidelines for choosing a school or other program for your kids, age appropriate and concerning behaviors, and handling having a sex offender in your neighborhood are among the multiple other topics you can find there.

We want to make sure you have as many questions about the subject of protecting your child answered as possible and are hopeful that thought and discussion will continue.  There are several links above to further your information, but if you have other questions about protecting your children, please Email Laressa McCormac and she will work on getting answers and posting an anonymous Q&A.  The sources of questions will not be shared with anyone else in the group.

Listen to Don Mosley's (Ralston House) talk here.
