BEAUFORT-JASPER YMCA OF THE LOWCOUNTRY HELPS PROTECT CHILDREN FROM SEXUAL ABUSE: PROMOTING CHILD PROTECTION DURING COVID-19


(Port Royal, Oct. 15, 2020): The Beaufort-Jasper YMCA of the Lowcountry is participating in the Five Days of Action, October 26-30, 2020. The Five Days of Action is a week designed to raise awareness and inspire adults to take action to protect children from sexual abuse. 

The Beaufort-Jasper YMCA of the Lowcountry encourages adults and organizations in the community to play a vital role in making Beaufort and Japer Counties a safer place for children, especially during this ever-changing environment. As our communities continue to press pause and participate in social distancing, we know that protecting kids looks different this year. Not only is our community dealing with a pandemic that is separating kids in need from the safe adults in their lives, but there are spikes in domestic violence, cries for social justice for Black lives, and more concerns about the mental health of youth and adults.

Five Days of Action will help communities and parents/caregivers take it One Day at a Time and will offer tips, tools, activities, and resources that are relevant to the current environment.

When adults know how abuse happens, see the warning signs, and respond quickly to prevent abuse, they foster a culture of child abuse prevention. Together, we can bring awareness to the issue of child sexual abuse in our communities and have important conversations around how we can all work together to prevent it from happening.

“Protecting children from sexual abuse must be the number one goal of every person who cares about the health and well-being of kids,” said Kaylin Garst, Executive Branch Director of the Wardle Family YMCA in Port Royal. “Together, we can stand up to demand that children are protected and encourage adults to make it happen in our community. It takes all of us.”

The Beaufort-Jasper YMCA of the Lowcountry, with support from the YMCA Guardians for Child Protection, YMCA of the USA, Darkness to Light, the Redwoods Group Foundation, and Praesidium have made materials available to help adults learn more about preventing child sexual abuse.

For more information about preventing child sexual abuse visit https://www.fivedaysofaction.org/

Materials are derived from YMCA of the USA’s “Know. See. Respond.” copyrighted in 2020.

CHILD SEXUAL ABUSE STATISTICS – PROVIDED BY DARKNESS TO LIGHT

  • One in ten children will be sexually abused before their 18th birthday.
  • 90% of child sexual abuse victims know their abuser.
  • Approximately 30% of children who are sexually abused are abused by family members.
  • 60% of child sexual abuse victims never tell anyone.
  • False reports are rare. Research shows that only 4 to 8% of child sexual abuse reports are fabricated.

WHAT TO DO IF YOU BELIEVE A CHILD IS BEING ABUSED – PROVIDED BY DARKNESS TO LIGHT

  • You do not need to have proof that abuse is occurring to make a report, only reasonable suspicion. Reasonable suspicion means that you have witnessed maltreatment or boundary violations, either in the child or adult, or both. Or, you have received a disclosure from a child about abuse, neglect, or boundary violations towards them.
  • Child sexual abuse reports should be made to the police and/or state child protective services.
  • Contact the Darkness to Light Helpline at 866-FOR-LIGHT or text LIGHT to 741741 to have questions answered by trained counselors at no charge.

BEAUFORT-JASPER YMCA OF THE LOWCOUNTRY INSTALLS NEEDLEPOINT BIPOLAR IONIZATION (NPBI) TECHNOLOGY IN WARDLE FAMILY YMCA


(Port Royal, August 31, 2020): The Beaufort-Jasper YMCA of the Lowcountry last week added another layer of COVID protection to the Wardle Family YMCA facility in Port Royal: Global Plasma Solutions (GPS) proprietary needlepoint bipolar ionization technology. With assistance of local mechanical engineering company Carolina Air, Inc., and with funds raised by the current YMCA Board of Directors all of the HVAC units on premises now utilize this technology.

Jennifer Tuckwiller, Carolina Air Business Manager/Owner and former CVO of the YMCA adds, “GPS technology is safe and does not produce harmful ozone like traditional bipolar Ionization systems. GPS is considered to be the gold standard in air purification and is used in commercial environments such as Duke Health, The Cleveland Clinic, MD Anderson Cancer Center, Charlotte Douglas International Airport, Phoenix Skyharbour Airport, NY Presbyterian Hospital, Harvard, Yale, Clemson, SMU, LSU, Texas A & M, and many more institutions across the United States.”

GPS technology uses the process of needlepoint bipolar ionization (NPBI)™that clears the air of particles faster. Independent laboratory testing has proven this method to be both safe and effective. Ionization targets pathogens with ions which disrupts the pathogens’ surface proteins, rendering them inactive. The devices run continuously to kill & filter viruses (like COVID-19), allergens, mold spores, bacteria, odors, and more!

Michael Bostwick, YMCA CEO, adds, “The health and safety of our members and visitors will always be our top priority so we are pleased to be able to install this state-of-the-art technology. We are grateful to our Board for raising the funding for this purchase and to Carolina Air, Inc. for their assistance in researching this product and providing their installation as an in-kind donation.”

The Beaufort-Jasper YMCA of the Lowcountry continues to follow all protocols outlined in their Phase 3 Reopening Guidelines as recommended by DHEC, as well as the Town of Port Royal Face Covering Ordinance. For more information please visit beaufort-jasperymca.org.
