Parents protect your children. 1) Teach them to spot and stop grooming & overt abuse. 2) Check SafeSport & sex offender databases. 3) Demand that your children's sports clubs, schools, and other activities enact robust abuse prevention protocols.

This national youth sports organization is failing to protect kids from sexual abuse
Over a decade after the Amateur Athletic Union promised to implement “historic child protection measures,” it hasn’t done so, leaving hundreds of thousands of athletes at risk.

Today is International Safe Sport Day. To make athletes safe everyday, teach them to spot & stop the subtle signs for grooming (covert emotional abuse) & obvious behaviors of overt emotional, physical, and sexual abuse. Check out my @TEDxPortland talk
