Every week, we go live on Facebook from our Mountain View office. In our eighteenth session, we discuss the steps to take and discussions for parents to have to keep kids safe from sexual abuse in a youth sports environments.

In this session, Casey is joined by founder of Kidpower, Irene van der Zande, to share the key tips and discussions to have between parent and child to keep kids safe from sexual abuse in their sports environment. Irene explains how there needs to be constant and open discussion between parent and child on this topic and that the child should never be under the illusion of safety. By that, she means that kids need to understand what is acceptable behavior and should never be under the assumption that they are safe in a situation due to someones repuation or because something feels familiar. She stresses the importance of kids needing to feel that they can voice their concerns to someone and that they will be heard.
