Let’s Stay Safe on Shavuos 1/8

imagine if a jewelry store in your community announced that they're doing a 24-hour sale with a merchandise will be significantly discounted they announced that it's 7:00 a.m. one day to 7:00 a.m. the next day and they said that the same staff will be on cool the whole time so if you come at the beginning you look over some merchandise you want to come back and after you've had some consultations with your family you can talk to the same salesperson if you were a thief I could almost guarantee you that you say oh my goodness what an opportunity to go steal stuff I think a good time would be like 1:00 a.m. to 7:00 a.m. the graveyard shift when people are tired and going out for coffees and falling asleep or just not on their game my friends and colleagues RAB of am sh arenson of Main and Israel and I we talk Shar often we all know that shus is a very high risk time for child abuse because of the lack of structure because everyone's exhausted because there's a lot of churn going on this year we're doing a collaborative campaign not to frighten anyone we want to empower you to look at your communities see what you can do to improve things in a very practical and free way and that doesn't cost anything but to raise awareness and to talk about it announce the improvements you're making because we all know that abusers are very very sensitive to how communities respond to child abuse issues let them know that we have game this year
