Need Kids on Block volunteers GODERICH -• Joanne, Stephen and Nam are special kids who need help getting to school. Thcy aie the kids on the Block and they want to talk to other chil- dren about child abuse. But they need caring adults to help them get to school andto bring their child- abuse prevention message to life. The Kids on the Block are part of a school-based child -abuse preven- tion program organized by thc Community Child Abuse Coordi- nating Committee, a community- based committee working to pre- vent child abuse in Huron County and to better serve families where abuse has occurred. • Nearly as big as real children, the Kids on the Block puppets are al- ready visiting -schools in both the public and separate.system across Iluron County. Thcy tcach children to avoid or defend themselves against physically and sexually abu- sive situations. But more volunteer puppeteers arc needed, particularly from the Exeter arca, say Community Child Abuse Coordinator Mary Schl. "It's a great opportunity for par- ents staying at home with their children, people who are retired, or anyone with a fcw hours to spare each week during the regular school day," said Schl. She said volunteers must be en- thusiastic, enjoy children, and be in fairly good physical condition. Hav- ing access to a car is an asset. But no previous experience in puppetry is required. A recent study of sexual abuse al- legations received by children's aid societies in Western Ontario found children between six and ten years of age to be at highest risk of sexu- al abuse. More than one hundred and fifty substantiated reports -of child abuse and neglect have been investigated since -1986 in Huron County alone. "School-based pre- vention programs like the Kids on the Block are one of the best ways we kriow.to counter this risk," said Schl. "The greatest barrier to preventing child abuse - both physical and sex- ual - is secrecy. No one can help families as long as thc problem re- mains a secret." The Kids on thc Block program encourages children to seek help if they arc being abused and teaches them the problem -solving skills to avoid abusive situations. It also helps children to recognize what child abuse is and what it is not.

Aad whenever his mother's friend Shirley visits, she hugs him and pinches his cheek. But Stephen scts him_ straight. "Just cause you don't like some of the things your parents do, doesn't mean they're abusing you," he says. . And by talking about her own experience of sexual abuse and how she got help, Joanne explains the difference between well-meaning adults who kiss or hug hellos and those whose actions arc sexually abusive. Volunteers bring Joanne, Nam, and Stephen to Iifc using a japa- nese style of puppetry known as bunraku, which requires no special expertise. A two-day training session on puppetry skills and child -abuse is- sues is aimed at preparing puppet- eers for the classroom. "The Kids on the Block provide an exciting and rewarding opportu- nity for volunteers to make a dif- ference in some child's life, " says Sehl.
