One of the biggest myths about child sexual abuse is that it usually involves a stranger.

The reality: about 90% of children who experience sexual abuse know the person who harms them.

Prevention starts with informed adults, not fear.

Parents and caregivers play an important role by fostering open communication, staying engaged in their children's lives, and creating relationships built on trust.

Prevention starts with everyday habits. 💙

[Darkness to Light @Darkness2Light]

Parents don't have to have all the answers.

They just have to keep the conversation going. 💙

This #NationalParentsDay, we celebrate every parent and caregiver who shows up, listens, asks questions, and helps children know they can always come to a safe adult.

Should your child go to sleepovers? There's no one size fits all answer.

Prevention isn't about fear. It's about asking thoughtful questions, understanding supervision, and helping children know they can always come to you.

The biggest safety question may not be where your child is.

It might be who's messaging them.

Digital safety starts before the first text or DM. Talk about boundaries, keep devices in shared spaces when possible, and ask organizations about their communication policies.

Sitting side-by-side in the car may feel less intimidating for some children than talking face to face, making it easier to open up.

Small conversations build trust and trust helps children speak up when it matters most. 💙

[Darkness to Light @Darkness2Light]

Knowing who's supervising isn't paranoia. Asking about safety policies isn't overprotective. Checking in isn't distrust.

It's prevention. Creating safer environments starts with adults asking thoughtful questions.

"I don't want to scare my child."
You don't have to.

Before your child joins a team, ask:

"What are your policies around one-on-one interactions between coaches and athletes?"

Organizations committed to child safety should be ready to answer.

Asking questions isn't distrust. It's prevention. 💙

[Darkness to Light @Darkness2Light]

Prevention starts much earlier through the policies we create, the questions we ask, and the conversations we have every day.

Don't wait for emergencies to prepare.

The best time to equip adults with prevention training is before a child ever needs help. That's how prevention works. 💙

[Darkness to Light @Darkness2Light]

Prevention doesn't begin with a crisis.

It begins with everyday moments:

💙 The ride home
💙 One more question
💙 A simple check in

Small conversations can make a big difference.
