Today is the last day of Child Abuse Prevention Month and I want to offer you an additional way to get involved to support the protection and safety of children.
Ressurrection Graves created Ten Ways to Safeguard Your Child from Sexual Abuse and has implemented a new trademark S.A.F.E.G.U.A.R.D.S.® as the acronym for the ten ways. This prevention curriculum and lecture seminar is taught to professionals, pastors and parents. As a part of the legislative process, Ressurrection has created a petition on change.org entitled, Make Child Sexual Abuse Grooming A Felony.
The purpose of the petition on Change.org is to:
1. Protect children from Child Sexual Abuse Grooming also called Premeditated Child Sexual Abuse.
2. Clearly define what child grooming actually is, by introducing the terms Child Sexual Abuse Grooming and Premeditated Child Sexual Abuse.
3. Ensure that the pro-pedophile movement which seeks to relax child sexual abuse laws will be thwarted and in fact this law will facilitate appropriate prosecution for deliberate offenders.
You can read the entire petition and lend your support here. Please spread the word.
