Our SAFE awareness booklet provides a “tool box” of information for parents, guardians and organizations entrusted with the care of children. This booklet provides important information parents should know and teach their child about child sexual abuse, questions parents should ask when enrolling their child in a program, inappropriate behaviors to watch for when adults are with children, warning signs which are cause for concern for young and older children, information on how to protect your child on the internet and information on how sex offender’s groom and seduce their victims.  We also provide a list of recommended reading for parents to share with their child/children about body safety.

SCARS’ objective is to raise awareness of child sexual abuse in Bermuda and it’s devastating effects on both children and their family members.

Our focus is to stop sexual abuse before it happens and to provide a list of resources for support if it does happen. Prevention is the key because by the time the police, a government support agency or a therapist gets involved, the molestation has already occurred and a scar has formed.
