A Proactive Approach to Preventing Sexual Abuse with Vanessa Morris
from Fathering Our Future · host Anthony Vandagriff
Children are gifts from God but unfortunately we live in a world where predators wait in the shadows. While most of us think it could never happen to our children, there are things we simply do not know. The sad reality is that one in five boys and one in three girls are victims of sexual abuse, and the abuse typically begins between the ages of 3 and 5. As dads devoted to serving our children and being what they need, we must take the steps necessary to protect them from sexual abuse. I am joined today by Vanessa Morris, Communications Director at The Foundation United, to talk about childhood sexual abuse. We discuss blind spots of parents, the dangers of smart devices, but most importantly we talk about communicating with your children to create a space of safety and protection.
