Do you find it hard to believe That there are fem

Do you find it hard to believe
That there are female sex offenders?

In actuality, something like 5-20% of all sexual abuse perpetrators are female.
And when it comes to sibling sexual trauma and abuse (SSTA),
Sisters make up 7% of the children who cause harm.

So while yes, women are usually seen as nurturing,
Some can be the opposite:
Capable of great harm.

And no, a boy is not "lucky" if he is sexually abused by a female.
Anytime sexual activity happens with an individual who is under the legal age of consent, it is child sexual abuse (CSA).
And CSA is a criminal offense in all 50 U.S. states.
When I tell kids that in body safety assemblies in public schools, their eyes get HUGE!

To learn more about sibling harm: psychological, physical, and/or sexual,
check out "Raising Safe Siblings," the online course I created with child safety expert, Kimberly King (@toughtopicsmom).
So far, the course is getting great reviews!

If you comment SIBLINGS, I'll send you a link to preview the course for free.🙂

Years ago
I asked my first therapist,
"Do I have to forgive my abuser?"
She said, "It's 100% up to you."
I thought she was wrong.

I asked my second therapist,
"Do I have to forgive my abuser?"
She said, "It's up to you, no one else."
I thought she was wrong too.

Eventually I forgave my abuser.
Because I thought I HAD to.
"For the Bible tells me so..."

Then my abuser went and se/ually abused another child--a pre-schooler.
In that moment,
I took my forgiveness back faster than you can spit.
And he will never get my forgiveness again.

Here is a gift to you.... If you are you a parent,

Here is a gift to you....
If you are you a parent, caregiver, educator, and/or child safety pro.🙋‍♀️🙋

Straight from @5wavesorg, the experts on the topic of sibling sexual trauma and abuse (SSTA).
Though really, these risk factors pretty much apply to all kinds of child sexual abuse (CSA).

If you care for a child in one (or more) of these categories,

-Be sure to have frequent body safety conversations with your kids.
-Teach your kids the anatomical names for their various body parts.
-Tell them NO ONE--not a stranger, friend, or family member--should look at, touch, or take pictures of their bathing suit body parts.
-Help them make a list of safe adults.
-And also, work with them to create personal safety plans (aka exit strategies) for when they find themselves in tricky situations.

If you want dozens more child safety facts and safety strategies,
Check out "Raising Safe Siblings,”
The course created by me and @toughtopicsmom!
"Raising Safe Siblings " is the course we wish our parents had taken!

You’ll learn:

✅ Evidence-based knowledge (not outdated myths)
✅ Practical tools to assess what you’re seeing 🚩🚩🚩
✅ Actionable steps if something feels off
✅Prevention Strategies that help you empower and protect your family and all children

*You don’t need a PhD. You just need to know what to look for.*

These thoughts have simmered inside me For two wee

These thoughts have simmered inside me
For two weeks now.
The whole mo+herless.com thing...
😤😡😩

Why is this issue so BIG to me,
I wondered.
I HATE, HATE, HATE this se/ual violence for the wives and the partners…
(And I’ve been hearing there may have been daughters too!!)

For some reason,
This issue feels massively personal.
“Sleep, sleep, sleep” are the words resounding in my mind.🧠

That’s how I made the connection to my personal childhood coping mechanism.
As a child, I feigned sleep (and sometimes death).

As a result, I feel CONNECTED to these women.
Not that they are feigning sleep at all.
It’s being forced on them!

I also feel connected to every survivor
Especially those who also pretended to be asleep or dead...
In hopes their pretense would make the bad thing...
The bad person…
Go the fuck away. ➡️

Rise up, women!
Rise up, survivors!
Let’s make these bad people
GTFA!!

lf you've ever been curious about the origin story

A few weeks ago
I hopped in my zippy green VW GTI
And drove 2 hours south
To Spencer, Best Virginia.

There I met up with my co-presenter, Angie Conn (@She Who Dares- Angie Conn)
To present a body safety assembly
To dozens of 5th graders.

These small country schools
Are such a delight to visit.
They have wonderful staffs
And super sweet students.

It is always an honor to present with Angie.
Her story is so compelling!
This school year we've been incorporating Q&A time into our talks.
And the kids ask really thoughtful questions.

Thanks so much for having us, Spencer Elementary School!
And thanks for getting us inside the schools, SHIELD Task Force!
