Shanti is anxious about going to a family cookout but can't explain why. Two visitors to her class talk about children being touched in bad ways. Shanti knows she must tell them that this happened to her, even though it is difficult to talk about. However, by speaking out, Shanti receives the support that she needs.
In Shanti's Safe Place, Yolanda Garner Hutcherson uses her years of social work experience to empower children to say no and to speak out against abuse.
