YoMonkey posted a survey in the forums, hoping that some folks will take the time to help her with a study she is conducting to help high school kids understand the effects of child abuse. You can send her an email from that post with your answers, or, I suppose, you could just answer them there in your own post, whichever you’re more comfortable with.

Pin I’ve had some recent opportunities to sit down and have coffee with some people who have worked in child abuse prevention and treatment and do fundraising for those efforts.
