Child Safety

One hundred years from now it will not matter what my bank account was, the type of house I lived in or the kind of car I drove...but the world might be different because I was important in the life of a child.

Casa de Esperanza has staff who speak Spanish, Punjabi, Hmong, Hindi, and German as well as an advocate skilled in Sign Language.

All languages may not be available 24-hours a day.

Every child's safety is, as adults, our job. On this page you will find hints and tips on ways to reduce a child's risk of being abused.

Monitor what your child watches on television. Violence teaches violence.

Monitor your child's internet access. Talk to your child about internet safety. Discuss the importance of not giving our their name, address, or any other personal information. Make it easy for your child to tell you about anything that makes them feel uneasy or uncomfortable. Talk openly.

Help your child understand the term "cyber-bullying", most commonly seen amongst children from the same school or neighborhood. Cyber-bullying takes many forms. It is any act of intimidation, aggression, or harassment made possible through the use of digital communications. Cell phones with cameras have become an increasing concern.

Make sure your child knows some basic safety rules: Never go with a stranger .
If you live in one of our service areas of service contact your child's school to see if they offer the
'Safe, Strong, and Free' program.
