Keeping our children and youth safe is of the utmost importance. Journalists, producers, directors, editors, and others hold the power to influence the actions (or inactions) of viewers and readers. Navigating how to report on this difficult topic can be extremely complex, but resources are available to help make your story informative. We are therefore providing the below information which may be helpful to report on and\/or produce a piece on child sexual abuse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-impact-of-public-disclosures\">The Impact of Public Disclosures<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Before drafting a story, consider the following issues:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Will details of the report inadvertently disclose the identity of the victim? (Ex. John Doe is charged with sexual abuse. Investigators say the victim is his stepdaughter\/niece\/girlfriend\u2019s son).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Will revealing a child\u2019s identity, even with the permission of the parent or guardian, adversely impact the child in the future?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>What is the viewer benefit of knowing all the facts of the case? Are some details too heinous?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Are you using the correct, legal terminology for the crime?\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>See the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nationalchildrensalliance.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/NCA-CAC-Style-Guide-2021.pdf\">NCA\/CAC Style Guide<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/dev.icgadv.com\/missionkidscac\/\/wp-content\/uploads\/Mission-Kids-Master-Acronym-List-2020-pdf.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Mission Kids Master Acronym List<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-effective-story-angles\">Effective Story Angles<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In order to prevent the story from compromising any court case, consider expanding the story to include the impact of abuse and possible solutions.

However, when the child\u2019s identity is used, they must still be protected against harm and supported in the event of any stigmatization or reprisals. This should only happen in very specific circumstances. The best practice is to never include identifying information of a child unless absolutely necessary. When this is the case, journalists should receive express written confirmation, and communicate with a local CAC or other agency, to ensure it is safe to do so, and will not compromise any investigation or treatment<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Confirm the accuracy of the story you are reporting on<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>When in doubt about whether a child is at risk, report on the general situation for children rather than on an individual child, no matter how newsworthy the story<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-importance-of-self-care-practices\">The Importance of Self-Care Practices<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You will likely become personally impacted by a story. Details included in testimony or court documents show the ugliest side of humanity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mission Kids encourages you to partake in the below <a href=\"https:\/\/dartcenter.org\/content\/self-care-tips-for-news-media-personnel-exposed-to-traumatic-events\">self-care practices provided by The Dart Center<\/a> to mitigate the risk of PTSD, depression, and substance abuse as a result of vicarious trauma:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Defuse with someone you trust<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Monitor for delayed
