TO: Our Family and Friends
From: The _________________________ Family
Our
family is working our Abuse Prevention Plan and is notifying ALL our family and friends that we have an Abuse Prevention Plan
in place to protect our children from being sexually abused. We have decided to take a more direct approach to our child's/children's
safety.
Some of you may be asked to be a part of our child's/children's contact network, but that is our
child's decision. Please do not be offended if you are not chosen, after all they still may contact you if they feel they
need to.
We also hope that in no way that this letter offends you. We know this letter does not apply to the overwhelming
majority of people in society, but there are those who it does apply to. After learning that the largest amount of victims
are abused by family and friends, we believe that in our child's/children's best interest we must do these things
to safeguard them. In fact, we expect the same from our family and friends and expect to receive similar letters or discussions,
and eagerly await them. We have enclosed a copy of the actual Abuse Prevention Plan for your convenience.
We are
letting everyone know we have discussed at great length everything in the abuse Prevention Plan with our child/children. Our
child/children are well prepared for any one who would want to hurt them and have our unconditional love, support and reassurance
and know not to believe anything else. They have also been well informed on typical lies that are told to innocent victims
to silence them. Our children have numerous people to contact in the event someone is trying to hurt them. We are committed
to ensuring our child's/children's safety and will review, reinforce and update this plan with them often.
We would expect no less from our families and friends because we know you love your children as we do ours. Thank you for
letting us into your home with such a sensitive subject. But, as we have learned, it is that sensitivity – a reluctance
to talk about this – that allows these perpetrators to hurt our children.
