Did you know that those who would harm children often target single
parents—looking for ways to gain access to children through trust and
vulnerability?

Join Enough Abuse and End Child Molestation for a powerful and practical
virtual session Nov. 5th at 6:30pm designed to give you the tools to
protect your child and the peace of mind you deserve. Learn how to:
* Recognize the subtle signs of grooming before it escalates.
* Spot red flags that most parents overlook.
* Strengthen your child’s confidence with age-appropriate ways to talk
about body safety and boundaries.
* Protect your family circle from being manipulated by outsiders who
don’t have your child’s best interests at heart.

We’ll close with a Q&A session and share valuable take-home resources from
both organizations to support you beyond this event.

This isn’t just information—it’s empowerment. By attending, you’ll walk
away with the knowledge and language to safeguard your child and create a
safer environment at home, at school, and in the community.

Every parent wants their child safe. This free event gives you the
strategies to make that happen.

END Online Child Sexual Abuse: Criminalize AI-Generated CSAM

[5]Research by Enough Abuse® has documented that 45 states criminalize
AI-generated or technologically-modified child sexual abuse material
(CSAM). 5 states and D.C. have not updated their CSAM laws to reflect the
latest technology used to exploit children. Massachusetts is among them.
However, Enough Abuse® worked with Senator Paul Mark and Representative
Natalie Blais to draft the most comprehensive language possible.
[6]S.1174/[7]H.1593 have been filed this session.

If you live in Massachusetts, join Enough Abuse’s campaign to END online
child sexual abuse and ask your legislators to support this bill. [8]Click
here send an already drafted email to your Senator and Representative.

How do Charitable Immunity Laws Perpetuate Child Sexual Abuse?

Charitable immunity laws grant nonprofits or charities protection from
being sued in civil litigation cases. These laws place limits on how much
someone can be compensated for harm, based on the organization’s alleged
“good” or charitable work. However, these charitable immunity laws prevent
survivors of child sexual abuse from holding institutions accountable.
Massachusetts has the lowest charitable immunity cap in the country, at
$20,000.
