“I never imagined I’d need to ask this out loud. But when was the last time you looked a child in the eyes—your daughter, your niece, your godson—and said, ‘If someone ever touches you in a way that makes you uncomfortable, you can tell me. Always’?”
Don’t wait for a “reason.” Start age-appropriate conversations early so it never feels like a one-time scary topic.
Let kids know that nothing is off limits—they can talk to you about anything without fear of punishment or disbelief.
👂 Believe and Support, First and Always
If a child shares something, believe them. That moment can shape the rest of their healing journey.
Validate their feelings without rushing to “fix it”—sometimes presence is more powerful than immediate action.
⚖️ Don’t Stay Silent—Speak Up
If your gut is sounding the alarm, don’t ignore it. Whether someone said something, or you just sense something’s wrong, trust your instincts.
Taking action might mean confronting someone, getting authorities involved, or simply documenting behaviors and keeping a close watch. Silence protects predators—truth protects children.
There are some things in life I don’t just hope for—I know them in my spirit. These truths anchor me, guide me, and remind me daily of the path I’m walking.
