Let’s Stay Safe on Shavuos 2/8

Rabbi Harts are you saying that Shu night is a a highrisk time for abuse and what do you base this on so the answer is yes I do believe that it's a high-risk time I would say t and Sh night are among the highrisk days of the year why because things are less structured there's less supervision and if we've learned anything at all about the way abusers operate it's that they're always probing and looking for weaknesses they look for weakness in the supervision of Children and Families in schools in communities in fact they go through an extensive process to see which children they could possibly abused so I'm not saying this in a morbid way that sh is a highrisk time but I absolutely believe that it is and we should be empowered to put our heads together and think about what we can do to make it much safer for children that's what we're going to be talking about this week and next week I want you to feel empowered to do something about it
