• Some schools refuse to allow discussion of "private parts" despite its importance for child safety
• Organizations like Enough Abuse Campaign work to change laws protecting children
• Massachusetts laws now allow survivors to pursue criminal charges until age 43 and civil cases until 53
• Kathy's memoir "Life With My Idiot Family" details her 10-year abuse experience and path to justice
• Resources include malesurvivor.org, 1in6.org, Massachusetts Children's Alliance, and Child Help
