I recently prepared a workshop proposal on the topic of “Prevention of child sexual abuse – the ethical challenges”, which is based on my second book. I wanted to share some of the questions I proposed to discuss as part of this workshop. Here is the list:

      • What kinds of changes are needed to become more effective in “preventing” a possibly abusive scenario?
      • How can you work effectively with service providers in spite of some of the existing inconsistencies?
      • How can you detect situations where immediate intervention is necessary and appropriate and what the associated legal issues might be?
      • How can you help single parents become proactive in avoiding situations that can possibly lead to abuse?
      • Should an ordinary citizen try to step in when there is an opportunity to prevent a possibly abusive scenario?
      • How can we be proactive in identifying situations where intervention is necessary and appropriate and act accordingly to prevent a possible abuse?
      • How can we make sure that our child protective services and our law enforcement services are adequately equipped to address this critical need?
      • Do our service providers truly understand the impact of child sexual abuse and are they properly trained to detect and intervene to prevent abuse?
      • How could the child protective services act differently in this story?
      • What could Law Enforcement have done differently in this story?
      • What could the family members have done differently in this story?
