Stop Child Abuse Now (SCAN) - 204

Tonight's SPECIAL GUEST is Julie Federico, author of the children's book "Some Parts Are Not For Sharing." A middle school counselor since 1993, Julie holds a bachelors degree in social work and a masters degree in counseling from Indiana University. She is also a certified, level III alcohol counselor in the state of Colorado. She knows first hand the ramifications of childhood abuse. In her book, children travel with a pair of friendly fish as they learn about what parts of our bodies we share with others, and learn what the boundaries of appropriate touching are in a very non-threatening way. Ms Federico is concerned that the many misconceptions and misunderstandings about the issues of child abuse need to be dispelled through honest and frank conversations with children, adolescents and adults. She plans to publish her second book, "Anger is OKAY Violence is NOT," is set to be published in March, 2112. For more info, please see the web site:www.JulieFederico.com
