Lauren’s Kids is based in South Florida and educates adults and children about sexual abuse prevention through in-school curricula, awareness campaigns, and speaking engagements around the country and the world. Our mission is to prevent child sexual abuse through education and awareness and to help survivors heal with guidance and support.
School's out for the summer and that means children and teens likely have more free time and independence while spending time at camp, around the neighborhood, and with family and friends. Sadly, 90% of the time a child is harmed, it's at the hands of someone they -- and their parents -- know and trust. Keep your child safe this summer with quick and easy rules, tools, and tips from Lauren's Kids.
Child sexual abuse is a silent epidemic. It occurs at every socioeconomic level, across ethnic and cultural lines, within all religions and at all levels of education. When sexual abuse does occur, 75% of child victims do not disclose within a year – 45% keep their abuse a secret for at least 5 years, many stay silent for decades, and some never tell.
But 95% of this abuse is preventable through education and awareness – and with guidance and support, victims can heal into thriving survivors. Together, we can shine light into dark places.
