Project Description:
The Child Lures Community Plan is a multi-media, cost-effective campaign to raise awareness and, most importantly, arm all segments of the community with leading-edge prevention strategies that fight all forms of childhood sexual exploitation. By virtue of its television broadcast components, the Child Lures Community Plan is the most comprehensive approach to safeguarding children and youth available today.
Services Provided/Benefit to State:
The Child Lures Community Plan fills a statewide void in sexual abuse prevention efforts. Child Lures Television News Inserts and Public Service Announcements reach families with specific safety skills and send a message to residents, visitors ? and sexual predators - that protecting its children is a #1 priority to the State of Florida. Accredited In-Service Training gives Florida parents and professionals current, relevant information to better enable them to protect children. The Child Lures School Program provides Florida?s public schools, K-12, with a state-of-the-art child personal safety program, available for use year after year. Distribution of the Child Lures Parent Guide to every Florida household gives parents and caregivers the tools to teach their children specific personal safety skills and provides an opportunity to list state agencies as resources for families.
Measurable Outcome Anticipated:
Statewide adoption of the Child Lures Community Plan will significantly lower the incidence of all forms of childhood sexual exploitation throughout the State of Florida. It will give present and future generations of Florida?s children specific tools to avoid sexual abuse and other traumatic childhood experiences. It will encourage children who are living in abusive situations to report abuse and get help.
