Do you know someone who has been a victim of Child Sex Abuse? Unfortunately, the chances are good that you do. The statistics of Child Sex Abuse will simply shock you. According to national statistics compiled by the advocacy group Stop the Silence, at least 60 million people claim they were molested as children, but only one in 10 children ever reports the crime. This is astonishing and action needs to be taken to educate our children about the topic. Just because no body is talking about it doesn’t not mean that everything is o.k.
New York Prosecutor Jill Starishevsky has authored a book that fills a gap in the Children’s Book industry. As a prosecutor of child abuse and sex crimes in New York City for more than a decade, Jill has crafted a book that speaks to children - it makes them aware that when it comes to their bodies, there are boundaries.
With an easy rhyme and great illustrations, My Body Belongs to Me will help both adults and children enter into a conversation about a subject that is often extremely hard for anyone to speak about, privately or publicly. It endeavors to teach children that they don’t have to endure abuse in silence. Parents and educators should use it as a tool to facilitate an open dialogue with youngsters.

Thank you for featuring this. I was just talking to my husband about this since our son is potty trained. We have been telling him only we wipe him, etc. I have to buy this book!
