DID YOU KNOW ?

Early abuse identification is key We can do our best to ensure that the children in our community are as safe as possible, and one critical way is to take immediate action at the first hint of improper behavior by an adult towards a child. Be familiar with ways in which perpetrators attempt to groom children, their parents, and church communities so that you can recognize and interrupt such behaviors

promptly. Paying attention to changes in behavior, appetite, or demeanor in the children we know is also important as these cues may be reflective of a child’s distress. For more information, get a copy of the VIRTUS® article “Early Identification is Crucial” at https://lacatholics.org/did-you-know/.

¿ SABIA QUE ? Es muy importante reconocer el abuso a tiempo Podemos hacer todo lo posible por asegurar que los niños de nuestra comunidad estén lo más seguros posible, y una manera importante de hacerlo es tomar acción inmediata en cuanto veamos o nos demos cuenta del primer indicio de una conducta inapropiada de un adulto hacia un niño. Familiarícese con las formas en que los perpetradores intentan acercarse a los niños, a sus padres, y a las comunidades eclesiásticas, para que usted pueda reconocer e interrumpir tales conductas a tiempo. Poner atención a los cambios de conducta, de apetito y del comportamiento de los niños que conocemos es importante también, ya que esas señales pueden reflejar la angustia del niño/a. Para más información, obtenga una copia del artículo de VIRTUS® “Early Identification is Crucial” (El reconocimiento temprano es crucial) en https://lacatholics.org/did-you-know/.
