Other EXCELLENT articles about talking to children about sex abuse.

Wow! This database from the National District Attorney's Association is going to be my favorite page for the next few weeks. It's written from the perspective of a prosecutor interviewing a child about sex abuse. All the mistakes you don't want to make. Even civilians like me can profit from the articles.
