Section 16-40-9 Instruction for avoiding child sexual abuse. (a)(1) The Legislature recognizes
that Erin Merryn was raped and molested for six and a half years by a neighbor and a family
member. She began a crusade her senior year of high school in 2004 to end the silence and
shame around sexual abuse. Erin's Law has been adopted in a number of states to help address
the problem of child sexual abuse. (2) The intent of Erin's Law is to shatter the silence
and stigma around child sexual abuse, and to educate children and empower them to recognize
and to report abuse. (3) The Legislature finds that without a specific initiative like Erin's
Law, schools generally fail to give young students adequate awareness and a voice in this
issue. (b) The Governor's Task Force on Prevention of Sexual Abuse of Children created under
subsection (c) shall adopt guidelines for a child sexual abuse prevention instructional program.
The guidelines shall: (1) Educate children in grades pre-kindergarten...
