Take the P.A.X.A. Pledge 

P.A.X.A. believes that parental awareness and involvement is the key to reducing and eliminating child sexual abuse. Parents need to ask their children questions, maintain rules about what is appropriate vs. inappropriate—and believe their children when they receive feedback that doesn’t comport with what they want to hear.

Parents are the ones who can make sure that child-safety rules are followed by close family members, religious instructors and coaches. Parents can hold daycare establishments, Montessoris, and schools accountable to make sure that they have child sexual abuse prevention programs in place to provide for a safe learning environment. Parents have the power—yet most parents do not exercise this power because the thought of child sexual abuse is too horrible to talk about.

So, take the P.A.X.A. pledge to empower adults, parents, and children to speak out against this silent epidemic, child sexual abuse that’s happening in our community, schools, youth sports organizations, churches, online, and right in our homes. Pledge that you will be empowered to help make an impact in a child’s life to protect them. By taking this pledge, you will no longer be someone who says "I DIDN'T KNOW."
