Links
We had a hard time finding sites that are set up to help kids figure things out. Most of the ones we visited contained lots of good information about abuse, gave statistics, listed signs or indicators of abuse . . . but they were written for adults.

Please contact us if you know of a site that contains useful information that is written in plain English and that will help kids figure out what to do.
