Darkness to Light is a global nonprofit empowering adults to protect children from sexual abuse.

We believe that protecting children is an adult’s responsibility, and that through education and training, adults will be empowered to act. We envision a world in which adults form prevention-oriented communities that protect the child’s right to a healthy childhood. Our work empowers adults and organizations to bring best-practices in child safety to their own communities. We do this through full-service child protection training, research, and consulting. Our goal is to provide evidence-informed, culturally appropriate, comprehensive child safeguarding support. We leverage cutting-edge research, award-winning training, and a consultative process to ensure our clients reach their desired outcomes.

Before the costumes go on and the candy bags come out, take a moment to review the plan. 🍬

Who is supervising? What happens if plans change? How will everyone get home? Make sure children know they can call for help without fear of getting in trouble.

Halloween safety looks different as children grow. 🦇🍂

Younger children may need reminders to stay close. Tweens need a plan for unexpected changes. Teens need clear transportation and a way to leave without fear of getting in trouble.

Our Halloween safety guide offers practical tips for every age, plus a free “What If?” family activity in English and Spanish.

Read it, talk it through, and share it with another safe adult before Halloween night: https://ow.ly/Nxxt51029ky 💙

Just because someone is familiar or considered “trusted” does not mean adults should assume safety.

Before Halloween, make a clear plan for rides, unexpected changes, and who children should contact. Children should not have to decide whether an unexpected ride is safe. Adults should confirm the plan. 🚗🍂

conversations do not have to be scary or complicated. 🚫👻

Before trick or treating, talk about staying with the group, checking with a grownup when plans change, and what children can say if someone invites them inside. Practicing a simple response ahead of time can help children feel more prepared in the moment.

Save this post for your family conversation and share it with another parent or caregiver. 💙

More than $200,000 raised for local nonprofits working to prevent child abuse and support children and families across the Lowcountry. 💙🏃

Darkness to Light is grateful to be one of this year’s beneficiaries of the Isle of Palms Connector Run and Walk for the Child. Thank you to the IOP Exchange Club and everyone who organized, sponsored, volunteered, donated, ran, or walked. Our CEO, Rhonda Newton, was proud to join the 5K and connect with community members who share our commitment to protecting children.

Darkness to Light began in the Charleston area more than 25 years ago, making this support from our Lowcountry community especially meaningful. Thank you for continuing to show up for children and invest in prevention.

You bought the tickets. Their friends are excited. But at the haunted house entrance, your child changes their mind. 🎃

It may feel inconvenient, but respecting that decision teaches an important lesson: they can listen to their feelings, communicate a boundary, and expect adults to take it seriously.

Halloween safety includes more than costumes and trick-or-treating. It also means showing children that they can change their minds—and that adults will listen.

It takes all of us! This is prevention in action. 💙👏

Recent events in the Ohio governor’s race are a reminder that an experience of child sexual abuse should never be reduced to politics or publicly debated for political gain.

Child sexual abuse is not partisan. It affects people across political parties, communities, cultures, faiths, institutions, and socioeconomic backgrounds.

When someone shares an experience of abuse, they deserve to be heard, believed, and treated with dignity. At Darkness to Light, we honor the voices of survivors—and remain focused on what adults can do to prevent abuse, protect children, and respond responsibly.

This issue knows no bounds. Neither should our commitment to prevention.

Planning a trunk-or-treat, fall festival, or Halloween party? 🎃🍂

Make sure child safety is part of the plan, not an afterthought. Adults can take these questions to youth-serving organizations and help start important safety conversations before the festivities begin. 💙

Keeping children safe sometimes means having conversations that make us uncomfortable. 💙

We've all seen it happen at family gatherings. A child doesn't want to give someone a hug or kiss, and an adult responds with, "Oh, come on! Just one hug!"

It might seem like a small moment, but it's an opportunity to teach children that their boundaries matter and that the adults around them will help respect those boundaries.

As parents and caregivers, we can step in, even when it feels awkward. We can offer alternatives, model respect for personal space, and remind family members that affection should never feel like an obligation.

Being a safe adult means being willing to speak up, even when it's uncomfortable.

See below for a few practical ways to navigate these moments. 💚
