The Secret of the Silver Horse

A Message to Readers

Secrets are a part of our lives, and while we should teach our children to respect these confidences, they must know that secrets about sexual abuse should be told. In this publication, children are shown the difference between a good secret and a secret about sexual abuse, and between good touching and sexually abusive touching.

The Secret of the Silver Horse instructs children that secrets about sexual abuse should not be kept. The story also teaches that if a child tells a teenager or an adult about sexual abuse and that person does nothing, the child should be persistent and tell someone else.
