Survivor Haven's
September 2001



Off To School

It is back to school time for millions
of children across the country and once
again parents are placing their complete
trust of their child into the hands of a
complete stranger. Personally it scares
the hell out of me.

My eldest daughter has already suffered at
the hands of an abusive teacher and my youngest
daughter has never met a stranger. I have tried
to keep communication open and teach them right
from wrong; good touch from bad and to never
be afraid to come to me if something happens.
I can't help wondering if it will actually be enough.

It is my hope that this month's issue of
Survivor Haven will be able to help the
parent and/or the child if they come up against an
abusive teacher, boyfriend or coach.
