Dangerous Access

**Children are taught to fear strangers.**

**But what happens when the danger is already inside the circle of trust?**

*Dangerous Access* examines one of the most uncomfortable realities surrounding child sexual abuse: the person who harms a child is often someone the child already knows, trusts, or encounters through family and everyday life.

A father. A brother. An uncle. A mother’s boyfriend. A relative. A family friend. A babysitter. An older child. Or someone who gains access through the digital world.

This book does not argue that people who have access to children are automatically dangerous. It argues something more important:

**Access creates responsibility.**
