Washington welcomes the Colorado Chapter of CAP.
If you have family or friends in Colorado, please let them know about Colorado CAP, and encourage them to support efforts on behalf of kids and communities in Colorado!
Let us know...
- Do you think there should be a statute of limitations on child sexual assaults?
- What do you think about the Supreme Court ruling that the death penalty may not be applied in even the most extreme cases of child sexual assault?
Safety starts at home
Educate children to the risks of their world.
When children are toddlers at home, families
teach kids to avoid unsafe environments, and secure kids from
household dangers like detergents. When they explore out of the home,
via play dates, preschool, and parks, families should prepare kids for the risks
present in those environments, too. Nothing is as effective for
preventative safety as open communication about real risk.
Policy is an incredibly effective tool for individuals, families,
and organizations.
Does your community swimming pool keep a
notebook of registered offenders living in the area? Do they have a
policy in place to stop people from photographing your children?
Don't you think they should? Parks, malls, public areas: they're
there in the hopes that you'll visit; let them know what you need to
feel secure. Or let us know, and we'll tell them.
Legislate to ensure that consequences are in place when education and
policy fail.
If society can articulate its objection to a behavior,
and if no legitimate civil liberties are infringed, then create legislation.
Remember, however, that criminals do not care about law, they care about
what they can get away with.
Parents and care givers are the first and
essential barrier between their children and violent crime.
Not schools. Not police. Not government.
Educate yourself,
empower your children,
enjoy your day.
