UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
Clinic to teach children to protect themselves
By Scott Worthington Kansan staff writer
Stouffer Place residents and the University of Kansas police will hold a child safety program tonight for families living on campus, said officer Cindy Alliss of the KU police.
The program will be held in the Pioneer Room of the Burge Union. A session for four-to-eight-year-old children will be from 7 to 7:30 p.m., and a session for kids eight and older will be from 7:30 to 8 p.m.
The program will identify basic safety guidelines for children, Allis said.
"Maybe, if they are in a bad situation later, kids will think, 'This doesn't feel right, I shouldn't be talking to this stranger,' Alliss said.
Penny Hotchkiss, Lawrence senior and Stouffer Place resident, said that she hoped the program would help kids talk to parents about difficult subjects, such as sex.
we hope to educate them on how to protect themselves." Hotchkiss said. "A lot of times, if something bad happens involving a stranger, kids are told not to talk about it. We hope to open up communication lines with parents."
Stouffer Place residents, who are married KU students, have been
alarmed since an incident Sept. 17 in which a 13-year-old boy allegedly solicited sex from a 5-year-old girl at the Stouffer Place playground. The incident is being investigated by the district attorney's office.
Susan Hoefer, Stouffer Place resident, said that many residents were alarmed by the report and had become more cautious.
"I've talked to a lot of mothers." Hofer said. "They thought this was a safe area. A lot of them are scared to death. They used to let their children go outside by themselves, but they won't let them go outside by themselves anymore."
"It's not a session to hash over what happened," Alliss said. "We want to educate kids about what's right and what's wrong."
Nonetheless, the report has spurred Stouffer Place parents to address the dangers that exist outside the home, said Hoefer, who has a six-year-old son
Alliss said the safety program would not be a reaction to the report but would focus on general safety guidelines.
"I didn't think I'd have to bring up something like this already," she said. "I wanted him to hear it from me before he hears it from someone else."
