There is a lot of bad and scary news in the media. But do you know how easy it is to save a child's life from sexual abuse? It's as simple as reporting. Today Lauren and Joelle talk about hotlines that will walk you through your fears and suspicions, how to report report, why it's vitally important, and why we need to talk to our kids about reporting ... now. If your child is in middle school, chances are that someone has already disclosed to them. 

Here are the hotlines we discussed:
