Don’t Move the Children
Don’t fall prey to people who assume that children will be better off shipped out of the home. Even if a parent is abusive, that parent needs to be the one who goes, not the child.
We are well aware that we are likely to have those in attendance who are survivors of sexual abuse and assault.
Because of that, we always try to make even our general public events be survivor friendly in a variety of ways.
As advocates, it’s important that we direct those seeking help to the actual laws of their state, while encouraging everyone to be a moral reporter.
