Keeping Our Kids Safe! Learn How You can Keep your Kids Safe from Sexual Predators-Laura Askowitz

Roar with Shari. . . All Things Justice for Women & Survivors

In this episode, I’m talking to Laura Askowitz, a survivor and the CEO of The KidsSafe Foundation She helps keep KidsSafe by teaching personal safety to children and their grown-ups to build strong, more resilient families and communities. Laura believes that one of the reasons predators find children such easy prey is because children don’t understand that they can say “no” to an adult. Children believe predators threats, that if they don’t do what they say, their family, pets, loved ones will be killed. Laura believes in equipping children with accurate body parts name and says that children who accurately refer to their body parts can ward off predators. Predators will know the children have been educated and could break the silence and report them. We can arm our children with clear age-appropriate information, to keep them safe.
