www.ithappenstoboys.org - It Happens to Boys was created to help bring male sexual abuse awareness to the forefront of our communities. It was started by Carol Teitelbaum, M.F.T.in 2006 after Carol had a conversation with a local ER doctor who expressed to her, that he felt there was an under reporting of "male" male sexual abuse. Since its inception it has grown to a group of 17 men who meet on a monthly basis to discuss the issues and effects of our abuse in a confidential and safe setting. Together with Creative Change Conferences we have had two conferences with speakers such as David Pelzer, Robert Ackerman and Jerry Moe. They have a group of men, that along with Carol have spoken at schools, recovery centers and on the radio. 24 hour hotline - 760-862-KIDS
