Program Helps Students
Cope With Sexual Abuse
~~ How does a 12-year-old
cope with abuse in the form of
sexual assault from an adult
he or she has been taught to
trust? How can they talk to
parents? Will they believe
their story? How does he or
she say no?
These are some of the ques-
tions explored by Liz Cocrill
and Dawn Martin of Child
Abuse Prevention Services in
programs before all sixth
graders at Central School
recently.
The program included the
showing of a film, ‘‘No More
Secrets”, where youngsters
were told to say, “no’’, then
“go” and ‘‘tell” someone.
“One child said that kids
often keep the secret of sex-
ual abuse because they are
afraid to tell and because
they have been told to fight
their own battles. Another
said that parents often say a
child is making up the story
of how an older person tried
to wrestle him or her in an
unhealthy manner with
harmful ‘‘touching’’. The
film pointed out that, in some
instances, children are abus-
ed by adults who say they are
playing a game and that if
ids run and tell that “it will
spoil the fun.”
“Keep telling what happen-
ed until someone believes you
and it is not the child’s fault
when an assault occurs’, the
_ program leaders pointed out.
The students received phone
numbers of persons to call for
assistance in the event of
child molestation and
teachers were given informa-
tion to help students who are
‘assault victims and the pro-
per procedure in reporting
assaults.
Through songs, a film, and
distribution of written
materials the children were
given helps on how to say
“no’’ to sexual assault.
The Department of Public
Instruction and the Depart-
ment of Crime Control and
Public Safety has declared
