JAMES is a simple story to help children be safe from Child Sexual Abuse. The story explains the difference between a secret and a surprise. Since most predators get children to keep secrets and often back the secret up with a threat if they tell, it is important to help children understand that we do NOT keep secrets. However, there are times when we all have surprises that we will reveal soon; birthday gifts is a good example. We can do many different things to help children be safe – James is just one tool we can use to help.
