39. Expert Take: Childhood Abuse Awareness Advocate Shelley Curenton


Listen Later

Trigger Warning for Childhood abuse and assault.

In Part 2 of Shelley Curenton's story she shares with us the deeply personal story of discovering that one of her daughters was being sexually abused by a member of their village. She tells us what she did, how things unfolded and gives what in my opinion is potentially life saving advice to abuse victims, loved ones of abuse victims, and parents everywhere on what they can do to protect their child. 

This subject is uncomfortable. It's taboo. But it is absolutely pertinent that we know what conversations need to happen to protect our children. We think of the bad guy as the creepy guy in the van- when in all actuality 93 percent of abuse victims know their abusers. 

If you or someone you love is a victim of abuse please tell someone. The National Domestic Violence Hotline is 1-800-799-SAFE
