5 Concepts of Consent To Teach Your Toddlers
My name is Mom - and I am a sexual assault survivor. My first experience with sexual assault happened when I was young enough to have trouble remembering exactly what happened. I remember being under the blankets. I remember the hand. I remember trying to wriggle free, only for that hand to squeeze my leg so hard that it felt like it would break.
