Thank you for posting this,

As a survivor of child he abuse by 3 different people and dating a survivor of sexual abuse, this cause is close to my heart. When I was being abused, I didn't know it was wrong. In fact, I didn't know until I was around 13-14. If there were campaigns like this at the time, I would have known and said something. Maybe, I wouldn't have had to endure abuse for 6 years and my boyfriend wouldn't have suffered for 8 years. I think Mr. Blow is an incredible man with an incredible idea. I would love to see this go into effect. Being molested murders the person you COULD have been. Letting children know the warning signs, good touches vs. bad touches, what is inappropriate behavior, etc. could save so many lives. If I might add, I think the definition should be changed. One of the people I was abused by was 1 year older than me, the other 3 (the 3rd was an uncle). My boyfriend was molested by someone 3 years older. There is DEFINITELY such a thing as children being molested by other children. It's no less traumatic, we suffered no less, and I think it should be taken as seriously as if it were child/adult abuse. Thank you so much for posting this article. The more people read about this, the more awareness it brings.
