If a child tells you they’ve been abused, it is critical to listen carefully, stay calm, and never blame the child. Thank the child for telling you, reassure them of your support, and let them know that you believe them.
Immediately following your conversation, it is imperative to file a report.
1 in 4 girls and 1 in 13 boys are sexually abused before their 18th birthday. Starting body safety conversations early on with children can help prevent child abuse and promote healthy relationships. Learn more here.

We bring together under one roof all the resources a sexually abused child might need, so they don’t have to repeat their story to multiple people in multiple places. Learn more.
