Thanks for publicizing these worthwhile events! We as a society need to get smarter about detecting and reporting child abuse. For example, teachers often notice signs of child abuse but don't know how to talk to the student about it. So the abuse goes unreported. There's a new online role-playing tool that lets teachers practice a conversation with a possible child abuse victim, getting expert feedback after every choice. (It was co-written by a former Minnesota police detective.) There's a free version and a CEU-version for teachers. Hopefully, practical tools like this will help all of us to crack down on child abuse more effectively.
