Page 9 - Sandy's Experience PROMO A Supportive Parental Tool to Protect Children from Sexual Assault

As such, Sandy’s Experience, through Mrs. Pleasant’s character,

promises to give educators a possible preventative approach.

You may agree that access to the Internet has changed the

world. In fact, almost 20 years ago, before the widespread use

of the Internet, including social media, I did my M.Ed research

at 5 secondary schools. The data collection included showing a

video of five young people who contracted HIV in their early

teenage years. So, I question: in our current social media reality

when should we talk to children about sex and sexual assault

prevention and who should speak to them about these topics?

As such, I offer Sandy’s Experience to give parents,

educators, children, and others an advantage in discussing the

difficult topic of sexual assault prevention so that collectively

we could make this world a safer place. A place where our

children can develop without having to live with the traumatic

aftermath of child sexual assault.
