Short title. This act shall be known and may be cited as "Erin Merryn's law". § 2. Legislative findings and intent. The legislature finds and declares that child sexual abuse, estimated to affect up to one in four girls and up to one in six boys, poses a grave threat to the health and safety of young people, and its damaging effects can last a lifetime. The legislature also finds and declares that child sexual exploita- tion, including the use of children in pornography and prostitution, and child abduction pose a similar threat to the health and safety of young people, and put child victims at grave risk of death or severe bodily harm. The legislature also finds and declares that the incidence of child sexual abuse, child sexual exploitation and child abduction can be reduced by raising awareness among young children of common dangers and warning signs, empowering children to better protect themselves from sexual predators, and teaching children how to obtain any necessary assistance or services. It is hereby declared to be the public policy and in the public inter- est of this state to establish a comprehensive program to provide an age-appropriate course of instruction in the prevention of child abduc- tion, child sexual exploitation and child sexual abuse. § 3. Section 305 of the education law is amended by adding a new subdivision 56 to read as follows: EXPLANATION--Matter in ITALICS (underscored) is new; matter in brackets [ ] is old law to be omitted.
