TAALK Tips

TAALK Tips is a daily e-mail to educate adults to prevent and recognize child sexual abuse and take proactive steps to protect children.

Child Sexual Abuse Statistics and the Consequences

1 in 4 girls and 1 in 6 boys is sexually abused before the age of 18. Victims of child sexual abuse are at greater risk than the general population for psychological, emotional, social and physical health problems which often last into adulthood. These problems often appear as depression and suicidal thoughts, eating disorders, drug and alcohol dependencies, school and/or financial failure, teenage pregnancy and promiscuity and criminal behavior.

Child sexual abuse is clearly a community problem, but child sexual abuse prevention is a personal decision. Protecting children from sexual abuse doesn’t come naturally, it’s a skill set that every adult must learn if they want to protect the children in their circle of influence.

The TAALK Tips e-mail series is a convenient way for adults to learn new behaviors that will significantly lower the risk of abuse and the daily delivery is the best way to keep these newly formed behaviors top-of-mind until they become habit.
