Moral[]
BraveStarr:
"J.B. and I wanted to talk to you about something that's very important and very personal, your body."
J.B.:
"Remember; it's your body and no one should touch you in a way that you feel is wrong."
Thirty/Thirty:
"I'll stomp anybody who tries that!"
J.B.:
"It's not that easy. Sometimes it's hard for a child to admit that he or she has been touched in a bad way."
BraveStarr:
"But if you have been touched that way, don't be ashamed. Tell someone you trust. Like your parents, your doctor, your teacher, your minister or rabbi. Right guys?"
J.B. and Thirty/Thirty:
"Right on!"
