park once again! Their latest

–Peter L. Richel, MD, FAAP
You Are In Charge of Your Body is an age-appropriate, comprehensive curriculum (video and print) developed by elementary
school educators and sexual abuse experts. The goal is to protect young children from abuse by helping them to understand
what sexual abuse is, how they can recognize it, how and whom to tell, and empowering kids to take charge of their bodies.
Carefully and sensi vely presented, the videos uses animated scenarios to illustrate sexual abuse situa ons and model how kids
should react to protect themselves. The key message is that sexual abuse is not the fault of the child and that they don’t have to
endure abuse in silence.
The parents’ video is presented by author and New York City sex crimes prosecutor, Jill Starishevsky, with the goal of teaching
parents how to approach a diffi cult and taboo subject in a proac ve and empowering way. Educa ng girls and boys about
sexual abuse will prevent them from becoming vic ms in the fi rst place.
Part One: Recognizing Sexual Abuse
The concept of body boundaries is introduced and the diff erence between safe and unsafe touches is illustrated using the real
names of private body parts (penis, vagina, breasts and bu ocks). Three examples of safe/unsafe touch are told using stylized
anima on.
Part Two: Stopping an Abuser
This program teaches kids what to do if their body boundaries have been crossed. Using the same scenarios from Part One,
students are taught NO and GO; how to say NO asser vely and how to GO safely and quickly.
Part Three: Telling Someone
Part three teaches kids how to create their personal safety network. It’s a list of trusted adults to go to for help in an emergency
including parents, teachers, and others. Viewers learn how to tell a trusted adult what happened using the real names of body
parts. Acted out scenarios demonstrate exactly how to do this. Kids are reassured that sexual abuse is never their fault or
something to keep secret. If someone touches you inappropriately, tell a trusted adult.
