- The extent of the problem.
- who the offenders are and why they molest children.
- Common seduction, manipulation, and “grooming” tactics used by offenders.
- Talking to children about abuse and people with “secret touching problems.”
- Practical child and family “rules” for safety.
- And responding to child sexual abuse disclosures and reporting child abuse.
