What Do Men In Prison For Violent Crimes Have In Common?
Research tells us that a majority of men in prison were
abused growing up.
As a state, Vermont is dedicated to the health and safety of
its most vulnerable citizens, in particular its children. Their
health, education, and overall wellbeing are paramount to the
future success of our state.
Given this, we must focus energy and resources on the
prevention of child abuse and in particular, sexual abuse. As
we raise children free from child sexual abuse, they will grow
up unlikely to commit violent sex crimes as adults, and that is
a goal worth striving for.
Over the past 25 years, we have learned that children cannot
protect themselves from those who would sexually abuse
them. They cannot say “no” to older youth, babysitters, teachers,
parents, scout leaders, clergy, etc. They are not equal to
those who care for them; they are children, not little adults.
By definition, they are dependent on those who are caring for
them. These relationships with people older than themselves
are necessary for children, in their homes, schools, and communities.
It is up to adults to learn how to spot grooming behavior, to
interrupt it, and protect our children. The purpose of grooming
is to build trust with family members, program leaders,
and children, to gain access to them with a plan to sexually
abuse them. Those who sexually offend children come from
President Approves Major Disaster Declaration for Vermont
Governor Phil Scott issued the following statement regarding
the Biden Administration’s plan to invest billions to
expand rapid at-home COVID-19 tests for Americans:
“Increasing access to rapid at-home testing will be important
as we continue moving forward and I applaud the
President’s focus on this important tool.
“The introduction of highly effective vaccines, boosters
and early treatment options has significantly lowered the risk
for everyone, but especially the older, medically vulnerable
population most at-risk. As a result, we are able to return to
more normal activities and begin to address the consequences
of the most aggressive COVID-19 mitigation measures.
These consequences like increasing hospitalization for significant
non-covid illnesses, increasing mental healthcare

and certain private nonprofit organizations on a

all walks of life and look just like everyone else. Adults can
spot grooming when small boundaries are crossed and inhibitions
are lowered with children, like telling adult-content
stories or jokes, or not respecting children’s boundaries about
touch. Interrupting this process can save a child from harm.
As adults, we can set boundaries for expectations of other
adults’ behavior with children.
All of our children deserve to have bright futures and safe,
carefree childhoods!
You can learn how to prevent child sexual abuse by taking
an online training from Prevent Child Abuse Vermont. Learn

Statement from Governor Phil Scott on Expanding Access
to Covid-19 Rapid Tests
needs, rising substance use, overdoses and domestic violence,
and the economic insecurity of many families and employers.
The science tells us that as we move forward, COVID-19 will
continue to circulate like other viruses. As America navigates
that transition from pandemic to endemic, expanding access
to rapid testing will change the game, giving us another, far
faster and more convenient tool we can use at home to help
the country moving forward.
“Vermont and our neighbors in New England have proven
the power of vaccines and the importance of robust testing. I
look forward to learning more about the federal initiatives and
working together with the President and his team to lead the
way forward.”
