Recently, I was approached by a parent asking me about Sex Abuse Education in Freeport Schools. I am currently researching our District's current efforts. According to my Internet research, there are a few registered sexual offenders living in Freeport. Due to New York State Law, I was unable to get the names and addresses on the Internet. However, I learned that through the Freedom of
Information Act, a resident can request the names, addresses, and offenses of local offenders, by visiting your local Police Department.
Safety Rules
It is a sad fact that one out three girls and one out of five boys will be sexually abused before they reach their eighteenth birthday. In only 11 percent of the cases of sexual abuse is the perpetrator a stranger to the child^
Sexual abuse can happen to anyone.
Sexual abuse is relentlessly democratic. It doesn't matter where you live, what religion you are or what race you happen to be.
Children feel sad, depressed, guilty, confused and angry. ITiere are many signs and symptoms children might exhibit as a result of their victimization.
Sexual abuse effects us all. It wreaks havoc on society as well when we must struggle to deal with drug and alcohol abuse, teenage pregnancy and juvenile delinquency, for example.
Sexual abuse has reached epidemic proportions in our country and it is the root of many of our social problems!
But there is something we can do. We must educate children and provide them with the tools they need to keep themselves safe! We teach our children a myriad of safety rules when they are young, but talking with them about sexual abuse can elude us. It is a difficult topic.
Children need to know what sexual abuse is and what they can do to interrupt it or prevent it from happening.
