I WISH THEY WOULD'VE HAD THAT WHEN WE WERE YOUNGER.
SELECT THE CLASS IS PART OF A FOUR WEEK SERIES DURING THE MONTH OF FEBRUARY, ANYONE CAN COME TO THE FREE TWO HOUR CLASS PRESENTED BY SAFE BURKE ALONG WITH THE DISTRICT ATTORNEY'S OFFICE IN STATE REPRESENTATIVE ROSSI.

WE ARE ALSO GOING TO TALK ABOUT THE GROOMING PROCESS AS WELL AS HOW TO BE UP GOOD STANDARD IN THE COMMUNITY.
>> AS A VICTIM, I JUST COULD NOT UNDERSTAND HOW THE PUBLIC WOULD CONTINUE TO TURN A BLIND EYE AND ACT LIKE IT WASN'T HAPPENING.
TO ME THAT WAS UNACCEPTABLE.
I WANTED TO DO EVERYTHING I COULD TO BRING THIS INFORMATION TO THE FOREFRONT SO PARENT COULD RECOGNIZE IT AND TREAT THE CHILD PROPERLY.

I HAVE GROWN CHILDREN.
I THINK IF I CAN FIND RESOURCES FOR SOME PARENTS, THAT WOULD BE GOOD.
>> A GOOD SEMINAR TO GO TO IN ORDER TO SUPPORT BOTH PAST AND FUTURE VICTIMS OF SEXUAL ABUSE.
>> I THINK THERE SHOULD BE MORE OF THESE AND I THINK PARENTS NEED TO BE ABLE TO RELATE TO THEIR KIDS.
THERE ARE GOOD FEELINGS, THERE ARE BAD FEELINGS BUT IF THE CHILD IS NOT SURE, THEY NEED TO KNOW THERE SOMEBODY ON THEIR SIDE THAT THEY CAN TALK TO.
OTHERWISE THEY HAVE NO ONE.
