From remote, bucolic villages to frenzied city centers, family members wait expectantly for WKH¿UVWJOLPSVHRIDQHZERUQ a symbolic representation of hope for the future. Yet, soon after birth, far too many children experience a life story that has little con- nection to nurturance, honor, safety or nonviolence. Despite decades of efforts to stop child sexual abuse, the epidemic continues. How is this possible? What prevents us from truly loving and pro- tecting our children? What cultural shifts or social trans- formations need to occur to align our values and ensure that the sexual abuse of chil- dren is eliminated? Margaret Frimoth will ad- dress these questions in her talk “Do We Really Love Our Children?: Ending Child Sex- ual Abuse,” at the next Clatsop Community College Ales and Ideas lecture. The presentation will take place at 7 p.m. Thursday, April 7 at the Fort George Lovell Showroom, located at 426 14th St. Doors open at 6 p.m. The event is free and open to all ages. Food and beverages Ales & Ideas 7 p.m. Thursday, April 7 Fort George Lovell Showroom 426 14th St., Astoria All ages Free will be available for purchase. Frimoth began her ear- ly career as a family sexual abuse specialist. In 1988, she established her “heart work”: the Victory Over Child Abuse (VOCA) Camps for child sur- vivors of sexual abuse. The annual camps continue today. Frimoth is currently the direc- tor of the Lives in Transition and Counseling Programs at Clatsop Community College. April is the national Sexu- al Assault Awareness Month. The goal of SAAM is to raise public awareness about sex- ual violence and to educate communities on how to pre- vent it.
