It's never too early to teach your children about personal safety.
We recommend all parents and guardians teach their children about their body in an age appropriate manner. One of the ways we can protect our children is by equipping them with the knowledge to know what they should and should not tolerate, as well as what they should do when those situations occur.
If you suspect the abuse of a child has occurred or is occurring, please report it now!
