10 tips to protect your children from being sexually abused

Such an important post for you to write, Naomi. I am so sorry for what have been through, and I am so thankful for your honesty and courage in sharing with us. There is nothing more I want than to protect my own children...ReplyDelete

Thank you. I agree, we want our children to be happy, safe and protected.Delete
Informative post for parents written from personal experience and filled with practical but sensitive tips to protect families. Thanks!ReplyDeleteReplies
Wow! Thanks Vanessa. That was exactly the type of blog post I was trying to write. So glad you feel it came across that way. N xDelete
Naomi I think you are very brave and sensible to share your experience with parents. I really like your tips and think they are very reasonable and achievable. Thank you.ReplyDeleteReplies
Thanks Laney. I wanted my tips to be easy to understand and very practical :)Delete
Thank you....ReplyDelete

An important post. Thank you. Hugs xxReplyDelete
Well done Naomi!! That was a brave but very intelligent step on your part. I have had fears for my children and have pretty much followed all of the above ever since I had my first child. I would rather be overprotective than slip up and have one of my boys exposed to abuse. Thank you for sharing. I really like the family code word, it at least gives your children a voice that might ring out some warning bells for you to take action. Again thank you Naomi for speaking out, this will surely help protect some children and help parents to know ways to protect their children a little more.ReplyDelete
Love that you have already been doing these tips Lisha. My hope is that it does help families and makes a difference. N xDelete
Thank you for these tips! I have started telling our 4 yo about private parts and no one is to touch him, as he starts kindy next week so all these tips are very useful. Thank you!!ReplyDeleteReplies
Yes! Great time to really start talking about body parts to help prepare them for school. Hope your son enjoy's Kindy :)Delete
Naomi thank you for sharing. I too am a survivor as well as a couple of my cousins who are the same age as me. All by different members of the family. As much as it hurt reading your post and bringing me to tears and reliving the pain. It also reminds me to teach my children to protect themselves and to help them understand their bodies.ReplyDelete
Thank you xxReplies
So, so sorry for your pain. I hope that like me, you can make sure the abuse is not passed on to the next generation, your children. Hugs and love xxDelete
Thank you for sharing this Naomi - there are so many things here that I have never thought of and will make me so much more mindful of in the future. I wish I didn't have to be mindful of these things as the thought of someone sexually abusing my child paralyses me :(ReplyDeleteReplies
I wish we did not have to be mindful of these things as well Kelly. It truly is sickening to even think about. I agree.Delete
Very brave of and selfless of you to share these tips with other parents. Thank you.ReplyDeleteReplies
Thanks Melissa. I kind of feel selfish keeping this knowledge just for our family. I want to reach out and help as many families as I can.Delete
Regular reader here who usually posts under my real name. For obvious reasons I just want to say, Thank you!!! This is a wonderful and helpful post. I am also making sure I break this curse that has been on our family line. There have been a fair few generations of abused youngsters from various family members on my side and my MIL was also abused when she was young and raped later in life (by a stranger) so it is something I am ever-so-aware of stopping (as is my husband).ReplyDelete
Thank you, Naomi, thank you xxx.Replies
So sorry to hear of the line of family abuse. Sadly, it is very common. I love that you are aware and have the support of your husband to break this horrible evil. I hope you have success. N xDelete
I am also survivor of child abuse. I do all of these things with my children. I also have a rule for my children. Never go into a room with an adult by yourself and close the door. Always have someone else in the room with you. There is never a reason an adult needs to be in a closed room with a child.ReplyDeleteReplies
Excellent rule. All it takes is that one moment of being caught alone. Hugs and love xxDelete
Thanks Naomi, I've shared a link to your post on facebook as well to hopefully help more children. I think you've written this really well & it's not over the top, although some of the ideas are hard to think about.ReplyDeleteReplies
I really appreciate you sharing these tips and I agree, it is hard to think about and even put into practice!Delete
Love your honesty and compassion Naomi. Your openness about this topic as difficult as it is will help others I know. Can I add to your great list the advice on this website. It takes such a great approach teaching parents to teach children that its not so much about "stranger danger" but learning about "tricky people" based on the sad reality that vast majority of time abuse occurs with a known person family member, friend, trusted person etc. Some really really good stuff on her site I would say a must read for anyone http://safelyeverafter.com/index.htmlReplyDeleteReplies
Thank you Michele. Appreciate the link as well.Delete
Thankyou soooo much, I too am a survivor and when I had my daughter a few years ago this was a massive fear that it brought my anxiety back from years ago when it happen to me! I am so paranoid that this will happen to her so much that I think sometimes I'm to cautious but I would rather be to much then not enough, Thankyou again xxReplyDeleteReplies
I have had times where I almost felt paralysed by fear for my children as well. Once you have been abused I don't think you can really ever be too cautious. Sadly, that is just how we become.Delete
Naomi, a topic that should be discussed more often to ensure the safety of our precious children. When I explain to friends that abuse can and does occur anywhere - with anyone, in any family, at any time - they always say "Oh, not in my family". After abuse occurred in my extended family and no-one knew for over 10 years and we all 'thought' the abuser was a nice guy it has made my hubby and I so much more aware with our own girls the importance of teaching them well to keep them safe, no matter who they are with and how friendly, nice and caring you think they are and that includes all family members and friends. I have my 'keep an eye out' radar on at all times, family functions, parties, public places. Thank you for being an advocate for the children with no voice. xxReplyDeleteReplies
Oh my goodness! Yes! People really believe that don't they. Love that you are parenting with your eyes wide open! N xDelete
Thank you Naomi, we have talked a lot to our children about their private parts and who can and who can not touch or see them. But you have given some other great tips here. Going to have a family code word from now on as well and you reminded me to keep this an ongoing conversation with my kids. I have had many friends go through sexual abuse as a child, way to many friends. Thanks again.ReplyDeleteReplies
Once you begin to talk about abuse with people it is amazing just how common it really is. Way too many people suffer from sexual abuse and I love that you are already addressing it in your home.Delete
Thank you. Your words will help at least one parent realise what is happening to their child or prevent something bad happening. Well done on your article.ReplyDelete
Thank you Naomi, very well written & loads of excellent things to teach my Son. Thanks, Again!ReplyDelete
Thank you for your honesty. This is a topic that needs to come to light. As a mother of a young child who has had this happen to her child, in a school setting, i am pleased you also addressed this, as coming from other children. This is very important. It was not something i thought about, from such young child(ren), but if its happening to them, they will and can pass it on, through inappropriate play.ReplyDelete
I feel strongly that this topic is only taboo, to the perpetrators, the rest of us should be discussing this topic openly and honestly, as you have done. thank you again.Replies
How devastating for you to have your child abused in such a way. What a shock! Thank you for your comment to help make people more aware of children passing on abuse that has happened to them. Appreciate your honesty. N xDelete
I was never abused by another child. However, in group therapy for other people who had been abused, I learned a lot about people that had been abused by another child. I think that people abused by family members and other children both have a very hard time because they cant always identify with the abuser being at fault in the situation. Of course the family member would be at fault. Some children just repeat what they experienced in order to cope, but I really don't think they ALL understand that they are doing damage. The huge problem is that people don't get that REGARDLESS OF WHO IT COMES FROM, a child is not meant to feel sexual feelings at that age, and they are just as affected. In fact it's harder to cope-- I've just heard many people say "Oh I didn't really go through anything, and it wasn't a big deal, because the other child was just a kid." I think the real person to blame is the adult who started the chain of events and made that children have try to find a way to cope in the first place. Parents, and adults shove this particular situation under the rug at a horrifying rate. The children need gentle counseling. They need protection.Delete
Thank you Naomi. Number 2 is a big one for me, my parents always forced us, my ex husband is polynesian and they kiss and hug everyone. My kids don't want to and I won't force them which has caused some issues, but I see no reason they should have to show affection when they feel uncomfortable about it and I know of friends who were forced to show affection to their abusers because the parents did know or didn't believe.ReplyDelete
I go the book :Everyone has a bottom" to teach my kids. A friend whose children were abused by their dad recommended it. My ex hated it at first, but when I explained why I was reading and teaching them and that I want to protect them, he understood.
Big hugs to you too and thank you so much for sharing. xoxoReplies
Love that you are already focused on helping to protect your cherubs Kylie. Keep it up! N xDelete
Thankyou for sharing, very informative and an important cause!!ReplyDelete
A neighbour of ours, he lived a few streets away, was always walking the same route to school as us, with his kids. We would chat as we walked.ReplyDelete
One day out of the blue he asked if my 2 youngest who were 5 & 8 at the time, were interested in a sleepover with his kids the same age.
I said "oh thanks, but my family doesn't 'do' sleepovers.
Something my husband & I were never comfortable with was sleepovers for the kids.
Anyway that was the end of that & we saw each a few times on the walk after that.
He is now in jail for child sex offences.
Something that rocked our little community.
I thank god every single day I said NO that day.
And all the other times I have said NO to sleepovers for my kids.
The older boys are nearly 17 & 14 & they say they have never felt like they missed out on anything.
They were happy NOT having sleepovers.
Anyway, just my little frightening experience. I am sure there are many out there.
You go girl, I love waht you are doing & you are very brave. And even though I thought after 17 years of parenting, I had the whole protection thing covered, you have given me new food for thought & I will be implementing some of these in my family immediately.
Thank you, NikiReplies
Wow, your story gives me chills. Thank god you said no!Delete
- AnonymousJanuary 22, 2013
I've always been a bit relaxed about things like sleepovers since they were such a big part of my childhood experience but your story has made me do a 180, wow, thank you for sharing.Delete
Oh my! Scary!!! Well done Niki in following your instincts and saying NO! Bravo!Delete
Thank you.....ReplyDelete
I have similar "rules" for my son, with an extra one.
We have a code word that only my husband, my son, my sister, my and my husbands parents know. If ANYONE tries to tell him that mum or dad said to come with them - he knows that there needs to be the code word in the sentence.Replies
Yes! Great idea for those moments when you are stuck and need help picking up the kids from school or something. Thank you for sharing. N xDelete
although this comes 12 years too late for us, i thank you for your straightforwardness and well written rules. i was naive to the signs from my child and this tool your have written would have helped greatly. I too am posting this on my fb wall as an informative warning to my friends and family.ReplyDelete
bless you <3Replies
Thank you for sharing and so sorry for your pain. N xDelete
Brilliant piece Naomi. This is just so important and I love that this year you will be posting pieces about these sorts of issues. I think because we live in a blessed country and feel safe that we can sometimes forget that sexual abuse is a very real issue and we can't be too causal when it comes to our most precious children and teens. I love what you are doing and writing about. I know your journey in this has been so painful but you are just amazing to me for using your story to help others and speak up for the innocent. Thank you, thank you. xxReplyDeleteReplies
Elizabeth thank you for your love and support. It is easy to be relaxed in this wonderful country but sadly in many homes children are suffering every day. Using my experience to be a voice for others is easy and I hope I can do it more in the future :)Delete
You are a true warrior! Thank you for having the courage to share with us your experience and passing on the knowledge to help keep our kids safe.ReplyDelete
Wow Naomi, this is an amazing post, thank you so very much for sharing, I read every word. NOTHING is more important than keeping our little ones safe. I think sometimes I am a bit over the top with how over-protective I am with my children, not letting them be babysat or be out of my sight... but reading your tips here just reinforces my stance and it makes me determined to continue being that way. You are a strong, incredible person and your cherubs are so lucky to have a mother like you xoReplyDeleteReplies
You go mumma on being protective! Do what you feel is right for your family and don't let anyone tell you otherwise. N xDelete
Thank you so much, Naomi, for opening this conversation up on your blog. So, so important. xReplyDelete
Thank you Naomi for this informative and sensitive post filled with very practical advice to protect our families. It was our next door neighbour of many years (with 3 children of his own) - when I was 12 who tried to abuse me.ReplyDeleteReplies
So sorry Trish that you had that experience. How horrible! Love that you have moved past that and are a wonderful mum and woman today. N xDelete
Thanks naomi for all that wonderful advice. In the world of so called helicopter parenting maybe we dont hover enough. If something doesnt feel right it probably isnt and naomi you have made me realise we shouldnt be worried about the decisions we make where our kids are concerned. I have never been a fan of sleepovers because you dont know who else is sleeping over. Thanks naomi for making shedding light on a topic not talked about enough.ReplyDeleteReplies
Thank you. This type of hovering is protecting and it is totally fine and I wish more parents would hover in this way! N xDelete
Thank you for this Naomi - I cannot stress enough the idea of not forcing your kids to be affectionate with others - i have always told my kids they are in charge. if it offends someone too bad. i hated it as a kid when i was forced to kiss male (adult) family friends goodnight etc.ReplyDelete
I have heard about having a family code word or similar but always worried about stressing my kids out with fear. I like the way you explained it and will be doing this immediately - it could apply in so many situations like if they have gone for a sleepover and need to let me know they want to come home...or are uncomfortable with someone.Replies
I hope you find the code word works well in your home. Give it a try and see how it goes. We can only try sometimes!Delete
its nice to see that someone else feels the same way i do instead of sweeping it under the carpet , unfortunatly many families feel embarassed to talk about these things . as a victim of sexually abuse i wished my own mother protected me instead of allowing me to years of sexuall abuse by her father and her boyfriend .ReplyDelete
as a mother of 4 beautiful kids i have taught my kids to be open about any situation that life dishes out
thankyou for making other parents aware of the dangers of preditorsReplies
So sorry to hear about your own experience with abuse. Love that you are a protective mum of 4 beautiful kids and have an open home to talk about such issues. Abuse is not embarrassing. It is real!Delete
Thank you for this post Naomi. These are great tips and every parent should read this. Will share it. Thank YOU for sharing your knowledge with us. I am so grateful.ReplyDelete
x bianca
Naomi I know this must have been hard to write and share but wow. So many new things for me to think about. I really need to do a few more things. I am very overprotective by nature but there are still things I could be doing like the safe word.ReplyDelete
And it could happen so easily. I'll share something with you. I never let my little ones go off with strangers or people we've just met. I went somewhere for a class and had to take one of the kids with me as she'd been sick. The man working there was so friendly and over the top friendly with my little one and put on a dvd and was chatting and standing so close to me. He then asked could he take the pram and walk my little one around the block to get her to sleep so I could focus on the class. I just about had a heart attack and said no thank you she's fine. He asked again. Later the lady I was with just about died that he'd asked that because she'd been watching how close he was standing to me and she wanted to come and say something. Maybe he was harmless and maybe he wasn't but it was very uncomfortable. It really reinforced how I am with strangers and people outside our own little family. But what happens when we are not there and that's just the biggest issue.
this is an amazing resource for us, however hard the subject matter is.Replies
How horrible Corrie. So glad you stood your ground and protected your cherubs. It is really hard to judge sometimes if people are being kind or cruel. Better to be safe than sorry I always think!Delete
as this may be a moral story. much is common sense. I do applaud you on your statements and story. takes strength.ReplyDelete
I just want to thank you. This is such an important post for so very many reasons xxxReplyDelete
Thank you Naomi, it is wonderful to have such tips all in one place and so very well articulated. Mandatory reading for all parents xoReplyDelete
Thank you, you're an amazingly special person with great power to make change for othersReplyDelete
Naomi don't stop xReplyDelete
Last April our 8 year old son who has Autism came to my room, I was reading (I am his Mum). I lifted the blanket and asked if he wanted to come read with me....he said 'Do you want to rub my wee wee like %@##^$ does?"
This person is a family member and to say we have been through hell is an understatement. The issue becomes complex when dealing with a child with special needs who isn't able to express clearly what happened and how often.
I contacted numerous places to get help and found it impossible to find someone to talk with who could understand and give me advice. I really mean IMPOSSIBLE, if you think the system works think again. The only place that was helpful and confidential was http://www.childwise.net/
I am an articulate, well educated, determined mother and I could get NO HELP. I found it almost impossible to believe in this day and age how difficult it was and how the system then proceeded to let down my son. As he would not make a reliable witness no further action was taken, I spoke with his school and they rightly had to report. Our son was then interviewed without our knowledge at the school by the police, the only way I found out was by him mentioning it in the car on the way home. I am so glad that I involved the school who were able to understand our stress levels and the turmoil going on at home for my sons sibling who is 10.
I believe my son so I must act!!
We still see this person, and nobody has an idea of how devastating this is until it has touched you and your family. It is true that evil comes in many forms and this was one we had no way of seeing, none of those hints were applicable, these people thrive on families keeping the secret, but not this Mum!!!
Be vigilant and love your kids and always believe them xReplies
Oh lovely. So much pain and so much hurt. I love that you are fighting to help your child and it really is so sad that it is often left to us as parents to take on the counselling role and to fix the hurt that has taken place. You keep on fighting and do not stop speaking out about this and searching for what is best for your family and child. In your case I can see that none of these tips would have been much help. My heart aches for you. Much love xxDelete

I too had a similar experience, I found out that my kids were being abused by a close family member. To say it didn't devastate my family would be telling a big fat lie! Like this person I sought help and I sought and sought and sought. Unfortunately my experience was similar. As much as I tried to get help from the 'system' I seemed to be pushed back two steps. Gratefully the Child Abuse Unit were as diligent as they were.
Without their assistance we would not have been put into contact with different agencies, sadly though these agencies have limited capacities, and resources. It's even worse when trying to seek help for the 'Perpetrator' (who mostly always is a victim themselves).
This is definitely an area that needs more funding and awareness to protect our little ones. My kids now (and this is realistic) have the potential to also become perpetrators themselves. It is a vicious cycle and sadly when the abuse is so extensive it's not a ride that one can just jump off when they've had enough. It's a life sentence. I'm grateful for this blog because even though we've moved right away from the offenders and I have admittedly relaxed abit about who I allow around my children I can now refocus my attention.
Grateful for all the honesty!!
Feeling very blessed just at this minute that both of my teen girls have made it this far without having to face any such threat. Regardless, some of the points above have sparked a few idea's for discussion after dinner, knowledge is power I always say. Thank You!ReplyDeleteReplies
How wonderful Nikki! Love that you want to still talk about it with your family. N xDelete
I appreciate this post. Especially the bit about forcing affection. My daughter is not affectionate, a bit of a germ phob, and that reminder that that is ok is timely. We are all different.ReplyDelete
Scary topic but one that needs to be addressed all the same.Replies
We are all different and I appreciate that you let your daughter express herself how she wants. Thanks for your comment Mandy xDelete
Thank you for sharing this important information every parent needs to know.ReplyDelete
Amazing Naomi, thanks so much for sharing. I pray your story opens many people's eyes and that they listen to the words of their children and don't brush them aside like you experienced. It must of been so painful not being listened to when you spoke up about your abuse.ReplyDeleteReplies
Bec, I hope my experience helps others as well. We need to talk about this in our homes more and more.Delete
Excellent, clear & well thought out advice Naomi. I appreciate it. I have discussed this with my children many times but you've given some extra advice that I'll take on board for the next chat. Thank you xoxoReplyDeleteReplies
Thank you Kate. Glad you have found it helpful.Delete
Great Post Naomi!! Thank You for such great advice. We have spoken to our children but definately a few points to still discuss and we need to keep this topic always 'current' not just spoken of once. I like the code word phrase - will be talking to my children to enforce this. Thank You Again, great post.ReplyDeleteReplies
Yes, keeping the topic current is the best way to address it. To keep adding to it and to keep your relationship close with your children will go a long way in preventing abuse.Delete
Love this post. I do talk to my daughters about this but will revisit it again with them. I will bookmark this and use it as a checklist that I can refer too. Thank you for reminding us and informing us.ReplyDelete
Naomi, thank you so very, very much. I have shared this on FB and will also email to friends. We have spoken to our children but some excellent ideas and a reminder to keep this talk going throughout their young lives. Also, I'm envious that you are going to write every blog post you've been scared to write - I so wish I cold be this brave.ReplyDeleteReplies
Thank you so much for sharing Blythe. Well, it is easy to hide behind the computer some days :)Delete
I particularly like your idea of using a family code word. A child in my family was sexually abused as an infant by a family member. A code word is a brilliant way of him letting us know he needs out when triggers stir up his emotions.ReplyDeleteReplies
So sorry to hear that Jennifer. I hope the code word works in allowing him to let you know when he is feeling upset or scared. Hugs and love xxDelete
You are an inspiration Naomi - your work is simply brilliant. Thank you. Together we will make Australia the safest place in the world to raise a child. It is passion and committment like yours that will make it happen.ReplyDeleteReplies
Wow! Thank you so much Hetty. I so admire the great work you do in promoting this topic and in trying to put a stop to childhood sexual abuse. Really appreciate you taking the time to comment and hope to help out with Bravehearts some time this year. N xDelete
Thank you for your courage in sharing these tips. As a mum of two little girls, this is something that floats around in the back of my mind. I would never want it to happen to them. I will keep your tips in mind and figure out how to introduce them at the right time.ReplyDeleteReplies
Good luck Veronica. You will know when the best time is to introduce it. N xDelete

What a timely post Naomi. I have been wondering how to approach this with my daughter who is just about to start school. Thank you for sharing your story and for taking the time to give us the tools to help try and keep our little ones safe.ReplyDeleteReplies
Great time to start talking about it and even to introduce it when your child starts going to school. Best of luck for your cherubs for the school year!Delete

Thanks for this timely post. I have been thinking about how I was going to bring up this topic with my girls. I'm sorry you had to go through this, through your experience you have come up with some very practical tips. And it will give us all something to think about and ways to help protect every child.ReplyDeleteReplies
Thanks Lisa. I hope you found the tips helpful and have found some ways to start talking about this in your home. It really is a difficult topic to just start talking about but so important to address for our sweet children.Delete
First of all, I am so sorry that this kind of pain has touhed you so personally. Thank you for this post. I've taught/done most of the things that you mention here but I neglected to really stress that this person could be someone that they really love and that loves them.ReplyDelete
My brother in law was staying with us for a week and half over part of the holidays. He is a much loved uncle and one we trusted completely. He claimed to be a christian. He prayed with me every day and discussed God's word with me. He joined our family devotions every evening. He is a little slow so tends to be more childlike and would rather play games then sit and do adult things. This made him the fun uncle by all my little's.
Two weeks ago today I found out that he had been molesting the boys. We called the police right away and he is in jail. But now we are in a world of pain as we try to help the boys heal. They are fearful of going into certain areas of the house. My 7 year old won't sleep in his bed or bedroom so we are getting him a new bed and redoing his room to make it a new safe place. They are both having nightmares at night. We are devastated and in shock as he is the last person we would have suspected doing something like this.
The boys know we believe them completely and don't doubt what happened. They have started counceling. We listen when they need to talk and giving them lots of assurance and love. I feel horribly guilty that I didn't know that this was happening under my nose. I am wondering if there is anything else we can be doing? Since you have been through this please tell me what else we can do. He gave them such mixed messages about God and being a good uncle and doing and saying inappropriate sexual things to them. It makes me sick just writing this. I appreciate any wisdom you have to offer me. Thank you!Replies
- AnonymousJanuary 23, 2013
Lori, you are doing all the right things. The most important thing you have done is to call the police and have him jailed. This sends the clearest possible message to your boys that what he did was wrong. My grand father abused my sister and I as children, and was a very religious man. When my mum found out she confronted him and removed us from his house, but she never told my nana knowing it would probably kill her. So he was never held accountable for his actions and we still had contact with him in the coming years, although obviously never alone. Unfortunately this lead me to feel greater shame, as if it had to be kept secret, then if must be shameful. The main reason I am responding to you, is regarding the religious side of things. It completely turned me against religion, as I believe he used his religion to exonerate himself in some way. 'I can do what I want as long as I confess my sins and ask for forgiveness, I will be forgiven.' Unfortunately your boys may feel the same way, given that they will now relate what happened to them, to your brother in law and his sick idea of religion. My advice there would be to tread softly regarding that side of things for a while. If they ask, perhaps let them know that no God would condone what he has done. With your love, strength and support they will get through this.Delete
Oh Lori. How horrible for you and your family. After reading a little of your blog I can see you have already had has such a challenge with these children and for this to happen is simply tragic. What you have done is absolutely outstanding in helping them. You are listening to them, you are loving them, you are prepared to make changes to help them feel happier and at ease and you have them receiving counselling. Brilliant! Healing from abuse takes time. It is different for everyone and for every child. What they need now is the opportunity to talk about it as often as they like, to be reminded they are wonderful and loved and to be given time to move forward and heal. As far as the religion side of things goes, I really love the comment above. People who use religion in relation to abuse are sick and have no real concept of God. God does not support this type of behaviour in any way! You will know what steps to take and what to do for your children. You have already acted out of instinct and that will keep leading and guiding you as they grow older and heal. Hugs and much love xxDelete
I too have suffered and survived child sexual abuse and after many years of honesty, therapy and healing, am an advocate for educating, sharing and speaking out about child abuse. Thank you Naomi for your wonderful, brave, wise and needed words of wisdom and insight. We must have open, honest and clear two way communication with children, this helps to empower them to protect themselves and talk about whats happening to and around them. Giving them clear information, who to trust, who to trust if that person lets them down...so that they may have access to help when needed. Nobody told me what to do, who to turn to and what to do if it was a member of my own family, sadly all too often the perpetrators of child sexual abuse are well known to children and their families. We must empower our children with the honesty & communication skills they need to protect themselves and speak up and speak out...Thank you for you wise words Naomi, may your post reach many people.ReplyDeleteReplies
I agree 100%. Love that you are an advocate for child abuse. We need more wonderful people like you in the world! Thank you for your inspiring comment. N xDelete
Hi Naomi, I just wanted to let you know how great think this piece is. I came across it via the Protective Behaviours facebook page. The tips are spot on and written in a way that is applicable to everyday parenting. I came across the huge rate of childhood sexual abuse through my work as a clinical psychologist and have heard many heartbreaking stories from my clients about not being believed and saw the devestating impact that had had on them both in relation to their belief about whether others can and will help and also suffering through ongoing abuse. Since having my own children I have started very young in putting into practice many of the principles you talk of but this article was a reminder of the need for repition and also to remind them about secrets - they are at an age where secrets are fun and exciting - so they were not thrilled when I discussed it with them today but we have negotiated that birthday presents and mothers day activities at school are "secret surprises" they can keep. thanks for this well written article.ReplyDelete
Thank you for sharing, Naomi! What stuns me is your bravery for admitting and disclosing publicly that you too have been sexually harassed, and is strong about it!ReplyDelete

Wonderful article and so important!ReplyDelete
My daughter was abused at school by a much older child. Unfortunately, it wasn't "illegal" but very damaging and heartbreaking. It took her innocence.
I am SO so glad that we had some chats before this happened though and she had the words to tell me. We had counselling and are getting through.
Bravehearts is an AMAZING resource too!

Thanks so much for sharing your blog with us. We are just going through the court system after charging my ex partner (not the childrens father) for abuse of my son and daughter. She has not let it ruin her life and it has molded her into an amazing adult. My son has come through it fine too. I always was so vigilante of them when they were little but obviously not enough. The man and I got together when my daughter was four and he and I had known each other since childhood hence I trusted him more than normal. After we broke up I found out about my daughter who he had molested from 4 to 13 and when I asked her why she didnt tell me as I had alway drummed it into them these things she said that she thought it was normal and that it happened to every little girl. This, I can tell you broke my heart. He used to bribe her constantly and not with big things but things like letting her drink coffee when ever they were alone or give her money and spoil her..... Thanks so much for your blog I will definitely pass it along and will follow your next installmentsReplyDelete

Wow! This is the best blog post i have ever read. I too am a survivor of child sex abuse. It went on for years, in our family home, i told two people and neither believed me. It wasnt until i was 17 and suffering a mental break down that i told people and was believed.ReplyDelete
I am now the proud mummy to an amazing 14 month old girl and will be using all ten tips! My heart goes out to you and all those children who have or do go through this. I cant imagine the strength it took to write this post but you made me feel better knowing that other wonderful people are survivors too and are making sure the abuse stops with us. So much love and respect xx
Naomi this is a wonderful blog. I have shared it with my networks as it is everything I teach children, teachers and parents. I would love to send you some of my resources if you would like to see them. Kind regards Holly-annReplyDelete
Thank you for this fantastic blog and your openness and honesty. You and other parents/teachers might also like to check out the children's book Some Secrets Should Never Be Kept, see : www.somesecrets.info Beside the book and its message about protecting our kids, there are 9 Body Safety Tips in the Parents section.ReplyDelete
As a survivor myself, your tips are also how I chose to raise my son! Excellent post.ReplyDelete
Thank you so much from the bottom of my heart! I have shared this on my Pinterest page, as well as my Facebook page. I pray these words reach exactly who they're meant to reach. Blessings to you!ReplyDelete

Thank you so much for this post... I can't believe a lot of this never occurred to me. I have been forcing my son to hug our family members, and even though I know it's just because he's stubborn that he doesn't want to all the time. I need to let him decide what he's comfortable with. He uses his words to tell people he loves them, he doesn't have to hug them. And if I keep forcing him to do it, he'll start resenting me and not trusting me. Thank you for opening my eyes.ReplyDelete

This post is a very informative one to be more aware to protect children for sexual abuse.ReplyDelete
- Rach WittonMarch 25, 2013
Such a brave and honest post, I know from personal experience how harmful such abuse can be and how it follows you every day in your life, as my dear friend says, sexual abuse is part of you, like the nose on your face - it doesn't go away and you learn to live with it. I'm very clear on how I need to protect my own 3 children, especially difficult considering they are only with me 50% of the time, I'm not certain though if sharing the story of my own sexual abuse would help them understand how real it is? Any thoughts would be much appreciated.ReplyDelete
Great tips to protect your children.ReplyDelete
Just read this from a pinterest pin. Thanks for writing this. It is very prevalent where I come from as well and I too am a survivor. Good tips. We need to be informed about this stuff and I'm so glad you wrote this. Just reading it, caused me to have anxiety but I love my children more than my own comfort. I wish this could be splashed on bill boards and passed out at school meetings and churchs. If we could bring it to light then maybe it wouldn't be so scary to talk about. Thanks again.ReplyDelete

My 6 yr old has recently come out and told me that his best friend has been 'touching him' while at school after I found him acting out onto his younger brother. Has been a harrowing few weeks now as he has completely shut down. Keeps crying and has accidents. My beautiful little boy. I cut off all contact with the boy before my son told me as I thought that something was off with this boy deep within my heart. My son has now told his teacher that this boy was doing 'bad things' to him while he was at my house one school holiday. It is now a case of building of his confidence to talk to everyone about it. We have a appointment with Bravehearts in 2 wks which hopefully will help.ReplyDelete
Definately agree with going with your instinct and I thank god that I looked like an overprotective mother when I said NO to sleepovers with this boy- especially when he at 5 spoke in accurate detail about penis's going into other boys after they kiss..... What the!!!
Thank you for sharing this Naomi.ReplyDelete
We have talked about many of your tips with our kids, but I will be revisiting them again now I have read this and adding in the code word for our family.
I am so glad we have never made an issue out of our kids being affectionate with family if they didn't want to.
Also my four year old was terrified of the male swim teacher last year and I made sure she didn't have that teacher, as I think it is important to teach them to trust their instincts.
I like your blog very much. Because that is very useful and helpful for me.ReplyDelete

Hi Naomi,ReplyDelete
Thank you for your courage. I am so sorry you endured this evil. I have also experienced the same and now that I have 3 children all under the age of 3 this is in the forefront of my mind because I to want to protect my children from enduring this. It's my worse fear. How would you communicate this to a 2 year old and 3 year old? I love your tips but I guess I wonder how to explain it to my 2 year old and 3 year old because they are just beginning to

Hi Naomi,ReplyDelete
Excellent, excellent post! I think the statistics are greater than what we are told. I was sexually abused as was my husband (we are in the USA). We are both vigilant yet sensible about our 3 boys and their safety. The more this subject is discussed and talked about the sooner the abuse can be eradicated. People don't want to think about it but it is not with strangers or the boogey-man that children are molested - it is with family members and close family friends!!!!!!!! That is the way the pedophile gets in the situation through familiarity. Wake up, people, if you don't realize this very important fact!!!
Hi Naomi,ReplyDelete
I love this and I have drilled this into my 3 children (12, 4 and 3). I was abused by a family member when I was 13 and it continued until I was 15. I told my mum and while she did believe me and confronted this person, that was it. No further action was taken. I feel cheated and I won't have my kids feel that was if I can stop it. I have especially taken more time to impress the importance with my 3 year old daughter (my 12 and 4 year old sons, have got the message no problem) and I will be putting them through self defence when they are old enough so that no matter who is threatening them, they will be able to also defend themselves before help arrives. I hope that more people read this and take the time to teach their children.
Sovery true. I am a sole paren & was befriended by a lovely, helpful, generous man. A few things he said & did raised my suspicions, so I confided in a neighbour & friend. She had been told that he was a predator & a friend with access to information confirmed it. Thank God for my instincts!! Family Planning Qld has a great book called "Everyones got a bottom" that teaches about privacy & safety & opens the door to conversation. My kids love it!!ReplyDelete
I have goosebumps (and tears welling). I am also a survivor of child sexual abuse and absolutely agree it has not defined me but sure has shaped me, I couldn't explain that better. I find it so difficult to teach my children all of the above but do so with gritted teeth knowing it happens all too often. My fear is that I teach my children reluctantly (because I still have this pathetic belief that I will just know when a predator is around them : Totally Un True!!) then are all children being educated about this at all. The silence about sexual abuse is deafening, my own loving caring partner refuses to discuss it with me, imagine all the family secrets lying dormant!! Thanks for a great blog, we should see more of it xoReplyDelete

As a survivor of childhood sexual abuse and a new mum I am terrified this could happen to my little one i am A single mother and I am even a little worried about getting into a relationship with someone because I am paranoid that they might hurt her.ReplyDelete
I get anxious about her even sleeping in a separate room from me I know I have to teach her to be aware of these things but I also don't want to scare her your tips have given me a good guide line on how to go about teaching her without making her a paranoid child.
Let's hope our generation can be more aware that these preditors are amongst us unfortunately the awareness wasn't really there when I was a child my mother didn't believe me and I had to endure my mother still maintaining a friendship with my abuser my trust was broken I was ashamed of myself and I think these feelings contributed to years of depression which after 10 years I am finally feeling more in control of. The emotional scars will always be there and the anger. These animals don't just take a child's innocents they change the person that child was meant to become.

Hi, thank you for writing this! I too am a survivor and thriver (as you put it) of child sexual abuse but have never told a soul until now. I am 32 years old. I am a mother of 3 toddlers and it scares me that it will happen to them. Your post brought tears to my heart and soul but the tips are great and very well could be life changing. Thank you so much for having the strength you do!ReplyDelete
These are such wonderful tips.ReplyDelete
When I took my daughter in for her annual check up at the age of 3 - I remember the doctor being very good about telling him what he was going to do before doing anything. He asked her permission to do anything to her body, and then asked my permission in front of her. He reminded her that no one else should touch or see her private parts (anything her underwear covered), but that sometimes doctors or mommies need to. After he was done examining her, I was helping her get dressed and she gave me a hug and whispered "But mom, you said not to show anyone my privates." I was so proud of her for remembering that, for telling me her feelings and that she didn't like it. I told her over and over how proud I was of her for expressing that to me, and for talking to me about it.
I really hope she continues to remember those things. Having 2 little girls terrifies me of what they may face, and my inability to put them into bubbles to keep them safe. Thank you for the additional tips to provide some protection.

My mother did all of this with me, but unfortunately, it didn't "protect" me. However, it helped me tell my mother what happened and action was taken against my perpetrator. I don't necessarily like the use of the word "protect" but I think this article is great. It is really important to teach children these things so that they can feel comfortable with sharing with their mom and dad anything that they feel concerned about. This level of communication takes away some of the feelings of fear and shame if they feel that they can share with their parents. I like these steps!ReplyDelete
As a parent, this is always something we want to protect our children from. I'm sorry to hear you suffered. No child should have to go through that. Thank you for sharing your tips.ReplyDelete

You did good; very good read and thanks for the advice.ReplyDelete
i like your advice...but some fathers sexually abuse children too..how can i prevent that???ReplyDelete
Thank you for such a wonderful post. This is something that needs to be discussed over and over and over until it stops it happening. My baby girl is only 5 months, but this is one of my biggest fears. Two months ago, I saw on the news that a woman (here in the U.S.) allowed her boyfriend to rape her three month old daughter and its been haunting me ever since. I mean, my baby was the same age. I had nightmares for days and I've been doing as much research as I can on how to tell and what to do, just in case. As a first time mom, I can't thank you enough for sharing your story and the wonderful tips for prevention. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!ReplyDelete
Thanks for sharing these tips, I find it very helpful to have these things reinforced. I know I argue about some of these points constantly with my partner as he does not want to be embarrassed as being over protective in front of his other family who are more relaxed than I am used to.ReplyDelete
Naomi, thank you for opening your heart with us to your story. I know from personal experience that was not easy. I totally 100% agree with everything you said and would add one more thing..ReplyDelete
This is just as common in the U.S.. Your tips are awesome!!

Expect traffic from NZ soon. I hope it's okay to link to you, I think you have touched upon a subject that calls for some consideration! I really, really appreciated your post. Shudder-inducing thoughts 'n' all, I needed to read it.ReplyDelete
Thank you so much for your post here! I found it via Pinterest and pinned it to one of my boards. I must admit that I had to persuade myself to pin it because I am a survivor as well and in the same situation you were with being shut down by those I told and told that I was lying. Those people follow me on there so I didn't want to open the floor for nasty comments and arguments. Such good information. Thanks again!ReplyDelete
Saving this for when I have children!ReplyDelete
Hi Naomi. Excellent article!! In my mum's family there has been children sexually abused too and all the advise you give is the best anyone can give to avoid this situations. I am sharing your article with as much people as I can as I consider it is EXCELLENT. THANKS SO MUCH FOR THE BRAVERY AND OPENING YOUR HEART TO HELP TAKE CARE OF OUR TREASURES. Cheers, EmiliaReplyDelete
Thank you for these "tips!" This is most important and as a grandmother of 3 little granddaughters, one which goes to her biological father's home often, I see behavior changes in her when she returns every time. This is so educational. Thank you again!!ReplyDelete
Thank you for this article! We live in a very conservative part of the US, and the fact that we call our daughter's vagina a vagina and not something "cute" always seems to rub people the wrong way, as does our habit of not making her hug and kiss everyone who requests it. Thank you for the reassurance that we are doing the right thing.ReplyDelete
Thank you, Naomi! I would add that a child's mouth is also private (even though it is not covered by a bathing suit). Abusers often don't start with touching parts of the body they know children have been told are "private" parts.ReplyDelete
This is a useful and thoughtful article, thank you. One thing that sometimes parents don't think about is that doctors should not even be unnecessarily looking at or touching children's private parts. This is especially the case with boys, who tend to undergo the sexual trauma of being circumcised and/or having their foreskins retracted at well check ups.ReplyDelete
Could you help me with an example of what to say to my 6yr old daughter. I told her not to left up her shirt in front of people and she cried and said she was bad. I don't want to make her feel worried or dirty.ReplyDeleteReplies
I always told my daughter, "Put your shirt down, that isn't lady-like" or, "Put your legs together, we need to sit lady-like."Delete
I said it in a way that made my daughter feel like she was special and big.
Maybe this will help :-)

My eldest daughter sent me this link and said your tips loudly echoed the information I present to parents here in the US. And I agree, they were all on target. On my site http://stoppredators.com I have free resources (a webinar and free downloadable ebook) that gives further information (communication patterns of predators) that will help parents teach their children how to identify, thwart, and report predators WHILE completely side-stepping all the sexual-ickiness that usually prevents them from having the conversation. My best. ~ Steven
Thank you for blogging about such an important topic!ReplyDelete
Another tip...
It is very important to teach children to listen to their feelings and instincts, if it feels wrong or bad, it is wrong or bad.
They also need permission to say no to all authority figures, teachers, police, church people, family. If any one of these people makes the child 'feel' uneasy in any way, the child needs to know they will not get into trouble if they say no, or refuse to participate.
I also teach mine not to ever say to the perpetrator, "I'm going to tell"
as this could lead the perpetrator to panic and harm the child.
Thanks again

I went through the same thing when I was a kid.ReplyDelete
Still, my parents, and family don't know about it yet.
I grew up with my granny.
When I was abused, I was 5. It went on for 1 or 2 years. I told my grandma about it but she didn't believe in or understand me. It was the first and last time I told someone till now. (I didn't know I was abused sexually till I was 13).
It was my neighbor, same age as my grandpa, well-respected person in society.
They are out there, perpetrators.
We need to pass this to all the children, and be heard.
Please check out Kidpower.org. Many of the things suggested in this article are very similar to what we practice, and our website offers easy-to-learn practices to do with kids of all ages. Thank you for sharing your thoughts on this very important topic!ReplyDelete

18 U.S. Code § 3582 - Imposition of a sentence of imprisonment
(a) Factors To Be Considered in Imposing a Term of Imprisonment.— The court, in determining whether to impose a term of imprisonment, and, if a term of imprisonment is to be imposed, in determining the length of the term, shall consider the factors set forth in section 3553 (a) to the extent that they are applicable, recognizing that imprisonment is not an appropriate means of promoting correction and rehabilitation. In determining whether to make a recommendation concerning the type of prison facility appropriate for the defendant, the court shall consider any pertinent policy statements issued by the Sentencing Commission pursuant to 28 U.S.C. 994 (a)(2).
(b) Effect of Finality of Judgment.— Notwithstanding the fact that a sentence to imprisonment can subsequently be—
(2) corrected pursuant to the provisions of rule 35 of the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure and section 3742; or
(3) appealed and modified, if outside the guideline range, pursuant to the provisions of section 3742;
a judgment of conviction that includes such a sentence constitutes a final judgment for all other purposes.
(c) Modification of an Imposed Term of Imprisonment.— The court may not modify a term of imprisonment once it has been imposed except that—
(1) in any case—
(A) the court, upon motion of the Director of the Bureau of Prisons, may reduce the term of imprisonment (and may impose a term of probation or supervised release with or without conditions that does not exceed the unserved portion of the original term of imprisonment), after considering the factors set forth in section 3553 (a) to the extent that they are applicable, if it finds that—
(ii) the defendant is at least 70 years of age, has served at least 30 years in prison, pursuant to a sentence imposed under section 3559 (c), for the offense or offenses for which the defendant is currently imprisoned, and a determination has been made by the Director of the Bureau of Prisons that the defendant is not a danger to the safety of any other person or the community, as provided under section 3142 (g);
and that such a reduction is consistent with applicable policy statements issued by the Sentencing Commission; and
(2) in the case of a defendant who has been sentenced to a term of imprisonment based on a sentencing range that has subsequently been lowered by the Sentencing Commission pursuant to 28 U.S.C. 994 (o), upon motion of the defendant or the Director of the Bureau of Prisons, or on its own motion, the court may reduce the term of imprisonment, after considering the factors set forth in section 3553 (a) to the extent that they are applicable, if such a reduction is consistent with applicable policy statements issued by the Sentencing Commission.
(d) Inclusion of an Order To Limit Criminal Association of Organized Crime and Drug Offenders.— The court, in imposing a sentence to a term of imprisonment upon a defendant convicted of a felony set forth in chapter 95 (racketeering) or 96 (racketeer influenced and corrupt organizations) of this title or in the Comprehensive Drug Abuse Prevention and Control Act of 1970 (21 U.S.C. 801 et seq.), or at any time thereafter upon motion by the Director of the Bureau of Prisons or a United States attorney, may include as a part of the sentence an order that requires that the defendant not associate or communicate with a specified person, other than his attorney, upon a showing of probable cause to believe that association or communication with such person is for the purpose of enabling the defendant to control, manage, direct, finance, or otherwise participate in an illegal enterprise.

LisaFlHairCurly HairI Think This Conditioner Is Great!First, I had a keratin treatment done on my curly hair. It was nice to have it frizz free, but it left my thick hair looking flat and it also made it get greasy quickly. I bought this shampoo and conditioner set and was literally shocked at how much volume my hair had after ONE wash! This really does give the hair volume. Also, since it is light conditioning my hair did not get greasy so quickly. This actually gave me an extra day of no washing! So, if you have dry hair this is probably not the set for you. But, if you have flat hair or hair that is oily this stuff is great. It cleans very well, too.

S. WatsonDallas, TxWonderful ProductI have fine hair that goes flat if I dont use the right shampoo/conditioner, and even then I usually still need a little volumizing spray to give my hair a boost (p.s. Kerastase Volumizing Mouse is the best!!!). However, I dont have to use anything extra when I use this conditioner, and I dont even use the volumizing shampoo, I use the moisturizing shampoo (purple bottle) in conjunction with this conditioner. Ive been using them for approx. 3 yrs. and my hair has never gotten "bored", it always looks great. The smell also stays in my hair, I get compliments a lot. If you buy the huge bottles, they last about six months even with long hair, so the price evens out. Pureology has wonderful products! I recommend them to everyone : )9 out of 9 shoppers thought this review was helpful.

Bert Hyrum Frandsen will celebrate his 90th birthday on Aug. 25, 2011.
He was the second child of 11 born to Andrene and LaVern Frandsen. He was born in the old Frandsen home which still stands on the northwest corner of 200 N and 200 E. Frandsen served the country during World War II from Feb. 1942 to Nov. 1945. He attended basic training with the 91st Division in Camp White in Medford, Ore. He was later transferred to Camp Pike in Little Rock, Ark., for extended training and went to Europe to the 5th Division and General Patten's 3rd Army, serving through the European Campaign from France to Austria.
When the war ended, he married his sweetheart Ada Rae Craw from Minersville in the Manti Temple. They celebrated their 68th wedding anniversary on July 27, 2011. Frandsen worked for 40 years in coal mines, including over six years as a Face Boss and as Graveyard Foreman until his retirement.The couple was called to work in the Manti Temple as ordinance workers.
The couple are the parents of four children, Brent Lamond, Garry Lee, Robert Douglas, all of Price, and Linda Rae Duke, of Hurricane. They have 12 grandchildren, 23 great-grandchildren and two great-great-grandchildren.
After being discharged from the service, they moved to Dragerton, now known as East Carbon City, in 1946 where Frandsen began working at Horse Canyon Coal Mine for H.S. Steel until retirement. Their four children were raised and graduated from East Carbon High School. They moved back to Price in 1994 to be with their children and have lived here ever since.

We all have at least one person in our livesÂ--perhaps a sister, aunt, or best friendÂ--who constantly inspires us with their style. Just like a guru to her disciple, these fashion masters teach us about the latest trends, hand down their old Vogue magazines, and introduce us to amazing, lesser-known shopping locales. Most importantly, they rouse our creativity with their revolutionary way of dressing. While they are not a part of our immediate inner circle, we feel that our MySpace Muses are a part of this influential category too. Every month, they silently inspire the WhoWhatWear.com staff (and readers too) through their refreshing and confident outfit ideas. You can see for yourself by perusing our February setÂ--a particularly enlightened bunch, if we do say soÂ--which features some truly noteworthy style!
We begin our muse overview today with Natalie (top row, far left) from Richmond, Canada. The stylish teenager caught our eye by pairing popular lace tights with an understated plaid skirt. The textured hosiery is an unexpected delight with the dark tartan skirt, and the overall look is fashion-forward and fun. Try this chic combo by coupling your own lace tights from last season or Urban Outfitters' Lace Fishnet Tights ($14) with BCBGeneration's Katia Skirt
Since inspiring street style is a worldwide occurrence, we strive to include girls from as many different places as possible in this column. A case in point is our second gal, Eszter (top row, middle), who hails all the way from Vienna, Austria. Eszter earned our accolades by balancing out her all-leather ensemble with a gray sweater. To get a similar style, consider wearing one of our Top Five: Gray Pieces or Banana Republic's Long Shawl Cardigan
($70) with a leather jacket and Silence & Noise's Moto Zip Matte Leggings ($58).
Next up, we present you with a stylish resident of Hannover, Germany: Ricky (top row, far right)! She charmed the WhoWhatWear.com team on account of her military jacket and feminine bow. The juxtaposed look can be emulated via ASOS' Moleskin Asymmetric Military Jacket ($43) and Miu Miu's Bow Alice Band ($130).
Yet another engaging combo is the outfit Krystal (bottom row, far left) put together. The Los Angeles native stood out amongst other MySpace Muse entrants, thanks to her bold red bag and bright purple trousers. A like-minded statement-making getup can be achieved with Forever 21's Vintage Chain Braided Handbag ($25) and American Apparel's Mineral Wash Stretch Bull Denim Slim Slacks ($74).
To address one of our favorite new trends, we turned to Juley (bottom row, middle) from New Orleans, who flaunted a fashion-forward belted sweater for staggering results. Since belted jackets and coats are a sure-fire hit for springÂ--see the Marc Jacobs runway for one of our favorite examplesÂ--stay ahead of the curve by investing in Vince's Belted Cotton Cardigan ($285) or cinch in a sweater you already have with Miu Miu's Double Buckle Belt ($370).
Last, but certainly not least, we present you with Florida-local, Trang (bottom row, far right). The fashionista updated her timeless trench coat with some of-the-moment accessories. If you want to get the look, we suggest complementing Banana Republic's Short-Sleeve Trench Dress
($150) or JCrew's Icon Trench
($298) with Urban Outfitters' Cable Stitch Beret ($28).Â--Jessica Amento

1. Where can I find the SF-424 and SF-424A forms and other grant writing information?
These can be found at the EPA national grants, EPA Region 7 grants, and Federal grants–grants.gov websites. The Request for Proposal (RFP) uses the required format for all federal RFPs. Important sections include: Section III - Eligibility Information, Section IV - Application and Submission Information, and Section V - Application Review Information.
As defined under Section III.A, eligible applicants include states, tribes, local government agencies, interstate agencies, and intertribal consortia. Projects must be performed within one or more of the states of EPA Region 7 (Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, and Nebraska) to be eligible to apply for funding. In the case of inter-jurisdictional watershed projects, they must be primarily implemented in EPA Region 7. In order to be eligible for funds through this competition, tribes must be federally recognized, although "Treatment as a State" status is not a requirement. Intertribal consortia that meet the requirements of 40 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 35.504 are eligible for direct funding. Universities that are agencies of a state government are eligible to receive funds through this competition. Universities that are not chartered as a part of state government are not eligible for direct funding from EPA. Universities must include documentation demonstrating that they are chartered as a part of state government in their proposal. Documentation may include such things as: state constitution, university charter, or case law that has confirmed the university as a state agency.
3. How likely is my project to be funded? Is a large or small project more likely to be funded?
In order to assess the strength of your proposal and the likelihood of your project being funded, you may compare your proposal against the criteria and assigned points, as stated in Section V. All proposals will be reviewed and ranked using these criteria. Section V gives additional information regarding the review and selection process.
4. How much detail is needed in the proposal?
Enough detail is needed to meet all of the content requirements listed in Section IV.C and provide information for the criteria listed in Section V. The level of detail should be balanced with the need for ease of review by EPA Region 7. EPA reviewers will use the information provided in your proposal to review and rank proposals according to the Section V criteria. The only exception is Section V criteria "Past Performance", where EPA has stated that other sources of relevant information may be considered including Agency files and prior/current grantors (also Section IV.C).
5. If I live in another state than Region 7 (Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, and Nebraska), where can I find Wetland Program Development Grant information for the other EPA Regions?
The EPA Headquarters website for Wetlands Program Development Grants contains contact information for each EPA Region.
6. What documentation is needed with my proposal that demonstrates that the university is chartered as a part of state government?
Documentation may include such things as: state/tribal constitution, university charter, and/or case law that has confirmed the university as a state agency.
7. Could a potential applicant purchase a vehicle or boat with these program funds?
Purchase of vehicles (including boats, motor homes) and office furniture is not eligible for funding under this program. The lease of vehicles is eligible for funding under this program but must be described in the budget detail.
8. Can a partner organization's indirect cost/fringe be used for cost share/match?
A partner organization's indirect cost/fringe cannot be used as cost share/match. (Please note that an applicant's indirect cost/fringe can be used as cost share/match.) Other federal grants may not be used as cost share/match without specific statutory authority.
9. How do I document a competitive selection process for subawardees?
The applicant must document that the contractor(s), including consultants listed in the proposal were selected in compliance with the competitive Procurement Standards in 40 CFR Part 30 or 40 CFR 31.36 as appropriate. For example, an applicant must demonstrate that it selected the contractor(s) competitively or that a proper non-competitive sole-source award consistent with the regulations will be made to the contractor(s); that efforts were made to provide small and disadvantaged businesses with opportunities to compete; and that some form of cost or price analysis was conducted. EPA may not accept sole source justifications for contracts for services or products that are otherwise readily available in the commercial marketplace.
10. How do I document quality assurance/quality control?
Quality Assurance/Quality Control (QA/QC) requirements are applicable to these grants (see 40 CFR 30.54 and 40 CFR 31.45). QA/QC requirements apply to the collection or use of environmental data. Environmental data are any measurements or information that describe environmental processes, location, or conditions; ecological or health effects and consequences; or the performance of environmental technology. Environmental data include information collected directly from measurements, produced from models, and compiled from other sources such as databases or literature. Applicants should allow sufficient time and resources for this process. If selected, EPA can assist applicants in determining whether QA/QC is required for the proposed project. If QA/QC is required for the project, the applicant is encouraged to work with the EPA QA/QC staff to determine the appropriate QA/QC practices for the project. So if you plan to collect or use environmental data or information, explain that you will comply with the Quality Assurance/Quality Control requirements.
11. How do I document data sharing?
All recipients of these assistance agreements will be required to share any data generated through this funding agreement as a defined deliverable in the final workplan. The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Circular A-110 has been revised to provide public access to research data through the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) under some circumstances. Data that are (1) first produced in a project that is supported in whole or in part with federal funds and (2) cited publicly and officially by a federal agency in support of an action that has the force and effect of law (i.e., a regulation) may be accessed through FOIA. If such data are requested by the public, EPA must ask for it, and the grantee must submit it, in accordance with A-110 and EPA regulations at 40 CFR 30.36. All applicants must demonstrate how they will meet this requirement.
12. How do I document partnerships?
Describe the agencies/organizations who will partner with the applicant as appropriate and necessary to successfully conduct the project. Include a clear description of the roles of specific partners in the project's components/tasks. Describe how these partnerships will contribute to building or refining a state/tribe/local government wetland program. You may attach optional letters of support from intended partners, to the end of your proposal. Letters of support are not counted in the page limit for the proposal workplan.
13. How do I document STORET use in our proposal?
Recipients of grants for wetland monitoring projects will be encouraged to submit all data from monitoring to the Water Quality Exchange (WQX) and into STORET (short for STOrage and RETrieval) database. WQX is a secure, internet- and standards-based way to support electronic data reporting, sharing, and integration of both regulatory and non-regulatory environmental data. WQX is an Exchange Network based framework by which EPA compiles water quality monitoring data into the STORET Warehouse. EPA's presence on the Exchange Network is represented by CDX which authenticates users and validates data submitted through WQX. STORET provides an accessible, nationwide central repository of water information of known quality. Grantee submission of monitoring data into STORET or monitoring data made available in the Advisory Council for Water Information (ACWI) Core Monitoring Data Element Standard (or Data Exchange Template) will facilitate exchange of monitoring data between EPA and its partners. Information on STORET is at http://www.epa.gov/storet/ and information on the standard is at http://iaspub.epa.gov/sor_internet/registry/datareg/home/overview/home.do. If an applicant plans to use STORET as one way to comply with the data sharing requirement, explain in the proposal.
14. Where do I find the list of EPA-approved wetland program plans (WPPs)?
As listed in Section I.C, EPA-approved state/tribal WPPs can be found at: http://water.epa.gov/type/wetlands/wpp.cfm.
15. What if my state/tribe does not have an EPA-approved wetland program plan? Can we still apply?
Possibly – you would want to consider Track 2 (see Section I.C).
16. If I include milestones and/or budget table in my appendix, will it count towards the page limit in the RFP?
Yes, they must be included in the proposal workplan (i.e., within the page limit). As stated in Section IV of the RFP:
- "The proposal workplan, Sections A-E (F is optional) below, must be no more than sixteen (16) double-spaced 8.5 x 11 inch pages (a page is one side of paper) (except for documents specifically excluded from the page limit as noted below)."
- "Budget information and the milestone schedule, described below, must be included within the 16-page limit not in the supporting materials or appendix."
So if you include milestones and/or budget table as an attachment (in the appendix), it will count towards the page limit.
17. Will the program fund proposals for research conducted on non-federal lands?
The RFP does not exclude potentially funding proposals for projects on non-federal lands.

I really hate it how skill rating is calculated off points/per unit of time, especially in ctf.
I play the role of a mid-fielder, and the nature of that role is usually very low-scoring. I play in tier 4 games as mid-fielder, but I am tier 2 because of the abysmal score. Check out this match: http://www.quakelive.com/r/profile/s...9031fd90/ctf/1. I was known as 'Jdt' back when that game was played. That was a tier 4 game. Yet I am tier 2. SERIOUSLY?!
