From the Paper:

"I have always been fascinated with the mind and the nature of man. One of the reasons my major is education is this interest. Education and children are subjects which should never be taken lightly, as our children are our next generation, our future innovators. The world, nevertheless, is filled with people who take away the innocence of children, and as a result endanger their future well-being. Therefore, I am particularly concerned with child sexual abuse, and what we can do as a society to inform our children on this subject. One of the best places to begin teaching this awareness is in school, the place where children spend the majority of their childhood outside their homes. Because we owe it to children to protect their well-being, the creation of abuse-prevention programs throughout all schools at the elementary level is necessary. All children need to be made aware of the potential threat of sexual abuse and what it constitutes; through this way they will speak up if they are victims of this abuse or suspect something."
