It has been said that 'It takes a whole village to rear a child'. Although that may have been the situation when it was first said, it is no longer the case. This story uncovered and exposed the risks children are facing in our societies every day. Follow Jamie, his friends and parents as they discovered that we are living in a society where children fall prey to people who have power over them. They learned that children who are poor fall victims to people whose intention are to exploit them. There are people who are using the church as a mask to have access to children only to sexually abuse them. But there are people who are making a difference in the lives of children who are at risk. Secrets Can Be Told is a book that has been skillfully written to help children to identify situations that would put their safety at risk and make it known. Every child should read this book, especially children whose parents do not normally hold conversations of sexual nature with them. Linnet enjoys working with children.
