April is National Child Abuse Prevention Month and Oprah is doing an important
show about child abuse tomorrow (4/15/11).  The show revisits the case about a
boy who was chained in a closet by his father and stepmother.  I make an
appearance near the end of the show alongside the victim of child sexual
abuse from a case I prosecuted 10 years ago.  The child, who is now 20
years old, was the inspiration for me to write My Body Belongs to Me -- a
book intended to prevent child sexual abuse by teaching children that
their bodies are their own and if someone touches them inappropriately, to
tell a parent or teacher right away.

Tune in to ABC at  4 pm EST for The Oprah Winfrey Show and go to
http://www.MyBodyBelongstoMe.com to learn more about the book.  For tips
on how to keep children safe from child sexual abuse, watch this interview
with the parenting contributor from Good Morning America.
