A Resource About Preventing Child Sexual Abuse


------------------------------------------------------------------------------

     There seems to be an epidemic of child sexual abuse running across our
country, and all you have to do to verify this impression is to read your
daily local paper.  And this information leaves parents, grandparents,
teachers, and all concerned with the welfare of our children frightened and
anxious. How do you know if your child is being sexually abused?  And what do
you do about it if you think this is happening?  Who do you go to for help and
understanding?  Most important of all, how can you prevent this tragedy from
ever happening?  All of these questions are addressed in a brand new
publication offered by the American Academy of Pediatrics, produced in
consultation with the National Committee for the Prevention of Child Abuse.
It's called "Child Sexual Abuse:  What It Is and How to Prevent It" and you
can obtain your free copy by sending your request and a stamped business
sized-envelope to "Child Sexual Abuse", American Academy of Pediatrics, P.O.
Box 927, Elk Grove Village, IL 60009-0927.  Though this publication is
subtitled "Guidelines for Parents," I believe this is must reading for all who
are interested in the well being of our youngsters.
