April is Child Abuse Prevention Month
Child Abuse Prevention Month 2010
America's children desperately need your help. Most of us are unaware that 1 in 4 girls and 1 in 6 boys will be sexually abused before their 18th birthday. Shockingly, 85 percent of these children are abused by someone they or their family knows and trusts.
Sadly, because of the 'taboo' nature along with trauma, fear, shame, misplaced loyalty and distrust associated with abuse, only ten percent of victims and survivors ever find the courage to report this crime.
Government statistics estimate that there are approximately 60 million survivors of childhood sexual abuse in America today. The reality is that childhood sexual abuse has reached national epidemic proportions that affect each and every one of us.

Sexting: Community Forum
In recognition of Child Abuse Prevention Month, Rainbow House is hosting a community forum based on Sexting. This is free to the public and will be a great educational tool in understanding what it is, why is the law involved with it, as well as the devastating consequences of sexting. Andy Anderson with the Boone County Sheriff’s Department will be our speaker of the evening and will be sharing his expertise and also answering any questions. Come and learn!
