Exposure to child sexual abuse material can lead you or your child to feel disgusted, sad, and shocked. You may have nightmares or trouble concentrating. You are not alone. For resources on how to cope with exposure, visit ow.ly/IgCm50CgMLh. @MissingKids @nctsn
Often, dealing with issues of abuse feels overwhelming. That's why we organized our resources- worksheets, tips, hotlines, references- into one easily accessible location. Plus, they're all now available in Spanish! Need resources? Check it out: d2l.org/resources/
This week we'll be discussing 3 of them. #onlinesafety #digitalcitizenship #livestreamingrisks Don't want to wait? Learn about livestreaming safety at bddy.me/3kePF08.
Online sexual abuse can be a real threat to kids. The good news is there are lots of practical, protective steps that adults can take to keep kids safe! First we need to Learn the Facts so we can protect kids from it. *CW: online exploitation of children burlingtoncountytimes.com/story/news/new…
