16. Mrs. Debbie Fox – Magen Yeladim

Chinuch Today Podcast

ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Magen Yeladim Child Safety Institute is a 501(c)3 charitable organization founded in 2013 by ⁠Debbie Fox, LCSW⁠, to meet the need for culturally sensitive child abuse prevention materials in the Orthodox Jewish community in Los Angeles and around the world.

Ms. Fox first developed MY Child Safety Institute’s ⁠Safety Kid child abuse prevention program⁠ in 2006 for the Aleinu Family Resource Center (Aleinu) of Jewish Family Service of Los Angeles (JFSLA) in response to a series of heinous incidents of child abuse that occurred in LA’s Orthodox Jewish community around that time.

Over the years, the need for child abuse prevention education programs became increasingly apparent as not only more accounts of abuse emerged but an increasing number of Jewish communities in the United States and around the world inquired about and requested the culturally appropriate and sensitive Safety Kid programs for their communities.
