Erin's Law Task Force
To be delivered to Wes Taylor, Superintendent of Lowndes County Schools.
Join four other states in signing a petition to prevent Childhood Sexual Abuses or CSA, by adoption of Erin’s Law Task Force in Georgia which recommends that:
• Child sexual abuse prevention education be taught in grades pre-K through 5.
“Best Practices” should be included in this instruction (See page 16 of the task force report).
• Training for school administrators be amended to include child sexual abuse as a selective strand in Georgia's school systems
• Child sexual abuse training should be provided as a certified professional development
unit (CPDU) for certified non-administrative school personnel.
Respectfully Submitted,

Why is this important?
One in 4 girls and 1 in 6 boys will be the victim of child sexual abuse (CSA) by their 18th birthday. There are more than 42 million survivors of CSA in the United States. Three million of these survivors are still children. These children could fill 46 national football stadiums. Ninety-three percent of the time sexual abuse is caused by a person who is supposed to protect you - a person in a position of trust or authority.
In almost every case, the only witnesses to this crime are the perpetrator and the victim. Perpetrators often tell the child this is a secret and no one will believe them. Children rarely report abuse immediately. Often, they feel the abuse was their fault. In these cases, delayed disclosure is the norm.
Most victims never tell anyone until several years after the abuse, if they ever tell at all.
The four states that passed this law already are
IN, IL, MO, ME, MI, AR, MS, and NV
