The National Center for the Victims of Crime estimates one in four girls and one in six boys will be sexually abused before their 18th birthday.

What can people do to prevent it? And what resources are available to victims and their families?
Penn State Public Broadcasting and host Patty Satalia will explore this issue with a panel of experts in a special, one-hour, interactive program called "Confronting Child Sexual Abuse." The live call-in program will air at 9 p.m. on Thursday, Nov. 17, on WPSU-TV and WPSU-FM. It will be simulcast on the Pennsylvania Cable Network (PCN) and at http://wpsu.org/live online. (more)
