Here are some resources for parents to help address the issue of keeping kids safe from abuse:
- Talking to Your Children About Intimacy: A Guide for Orthodox Jewish Parents, Sara Diament, M.A.
- It’s My Body, Lory Freeman
- My Body is Private, Linda Walvoord Girard
- My Body Belongs to Me, Channing Bete Company
- My Body Belongs to Me, Jill Starishevsky
You can also search Google for terms like “my body belongs to me” – you will find more results than we could possibly post here.
- Uncle Moishy’s Safety on Torah Island CD (used as part of the Aleinu Safety Kid program).
Here is a fantastic video of R’ Yakov Horowitz (of Project YES and Yeshiva Darchei Noam) speaking to parents about how to protect their children from abuse:
Speaking To Your Kids About Personal Safety from Yakov Horowitz.
.
And here is an interview with New York Assistant District Attorney (and author of one of the books linked above) discussing her experience as a prosecutor dealing with child sexual abuse cases.
