STATEN ISLAND (NY)
Staten Island Advance
By Maura Grunlund
STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. — A taboo topic which is very much in the news these days will be the focus of a free child abuse prevention program on June 28 at Temple Emanu-El in Port Richmond.
While the event is open to all, the flier specifically invites clergy, community leaders, teachers, parents and concerned adults.
Rabbi Gerald Sussman said he is hosting the event because he sees it as an opportunity to provide an important service to the entire community of Staten Island. He noted that “no one is immune” from the such incidents which occur in every religious, ethnic and economic group.
“I think it’s important to have some training because it is something which is sadly a lot more prevalent than people would like to think,” Rabbi Sussman said.
