Unfortunately, child abductions and molestations have headlined the news over the last week. Tuesday, 11 News brought you the story about a man accused of sexually assaulting four children under the age of 10; the victims' families knew the suspect.

There are ways to protect your kids.

At a workshop run by Kidpower of Colorado Wednesday night, kids learned how to reduce their risk of emotional, physical, and sexual abuse. They learned how to set boundaries with adults they know. That could prevent them from being victims.

"Ninety percent of the situations that happen to kids are with people they know,” Jan Isaacs Henry, the executive director of Kidpower, said.

They were told to tell adults when they feel uncomfortable.

"Please don't touch me,” the kids learned to say assertively.

If that doesn't work and neither does the word “stop,” they were told to say, "I’m going to tell.” If the touching persists, even if the person tries to bribe the child, the kids were taught to stand their ground. If the person threatens them or continues to touch, they were told they could lie and say: "I won't tell as long as you stop."

The kids learned to go to their parents when anyone was being inappropriate, and to keep telling them or other trusted adults until their concerns are taken seriously.
