Many  leaders "forgive" (protect, embrace, assimilate , etc)
alleged abusers because they don't want to be viewed as not exercising grace. 
Make no mistake, there is no grace when this is done
at the expense of the victims--whether past, present, or future.

Darkness to Light - End Child Sexual Abuse
Adult Education is the Key to Preventing Child Sexual Abuse

That’s why we exist, to empower adults through awareness and educational programs
​to prevent, recognize, and react responsibly to child sexual abuse.


Darkness to Light -Trust Your Gut 
 90% of children who are victims of child sexual abuse know their abuser.
 It could be a friend, a family member, a teacher, or a pastor.
It’s usually someone who has easy access to children, maybe though youth sports, schools, or other extra-curricular programs.
We know what you’re thinking: “That’s not possible. At least not among my friends, colleagues, and family.”
Unfortunately, abusers don’t just groom a child, they groom the family, organizations, and entire communities.

Identifying Child Sexual Abuse

Signs that a child is being sexually abused are often present, but they can be indistinguishable from other signs
of child stress, distress or trauma. Knowing what to look for can help.
