But there's so many kids that go through life who came from a dysfunctional home where a lot of things have happened and they were sexually abused in the home, outside of the home and all of this.
Imagine enduring unimaginable trauma as a child and finding the strength to seek help. In this episode of 'Stop Child Abuse Now (SCAN)', Kermit McCown from Butte, Montana, a returning NAASCA family member, shares his harrowing story and the profound challenges he faced. Kermit recounts a terrifying experience from his childhood when his mother attempted to drown him, a moment that forever altered his life.
This episode isn't just about his past; it's a call to action for communities to develop comprehensive support systems for survivors of child abuse. Kermit emphasizes the critical need for services like safety plans, shelters, crisis and medical support for sexual assault, financial counseling, children's services, and legal aid. He highlights the courage it takes for victims to ask for help and navigate these scattered services.
Through his story, Kermit sheds light on the importance of educating children on body safety and empowering them to stay safe in today's world. The hosts and co-hosts also discuss mental health resources, financial counseling, and legal services that can aid survivors in their healing journey. The episode concludes on a hopeful note, encouraging listeners to give back to their communities through initiatives like the Salvation Army programs and reading to blind hospital patients.
Tune in to hear Kermit's powerful testimony and learn how we can all contribute to creating safer environments for survivors.
