Fairfax County Police recently hosted a Child Safety Symposium that covered many topics including prevention, awareness, child abuse and Internet safety.
Children's interpretation of the abuse, whether or not they disclose the experience, and how quickly they report it also affects the short- and long-term consequences. Children who are able to confide in a trusted adult and who are believed experience less trauma than children who do not disclose the abuse. Furthermore, children who disclose the abuse soon after its occurrence may be less traumatized than those children who live with the secret for years.
I believe that Learning the facts about childhood sexual abuse helps to prevent it.
Talking about it helps to prevent it.
Getting involved helps to prevent it.

As parents, it's hard to imagine the unthinkable, but it's important to consider the possible.
Review these warning signs brought to you by Kids Live Safe:
1. Dressing habits & hygiene changes: Your child may try to
make themselves less appealing to their abuser by:
- starting to dress shabbily
- not bathing
- not brushing their teeth
- not combing their hair
2. Sexual knowledge: Pay attention to your child's terminology: if they seem to have sexual knowledge beyond their years, or begin to touch themselves or others in a sexual way, have an honest discussion with them about sex.
3. Keeping secrets: If your child has toys, money, or candy that you did not buy them, or if they talk about secrets a new friend told them to keep, you should be concerned. If your child is keeping a secret, you should have a sincere talk with them about what secrets are okay to keep & what secrets should be shared.
4. Regression: If your child suddenly returns to habits they have long outgrown, such as thumb sucking, baby talk, or bed-wetting, pay attention.Show understanding, love, & kindness, & work with your children to address these issues. Visit KidsLiveSafe.com for tips on how to speak to your children about the topic of sexual abuse.
5. Mood swings: If you notice depression, anxiety, poor performance in school, or disinterest in activities your kids normally enjoy, these are red flags.Do not be dismissive if they show these signs -- take it seriously and find out why.
6. Trouble sleeping: Not wanting to be alone, sudden fear of the dark, or nightmares can all be signs of abuse. Talk it over with your child & find out what is causing these fears. These are just a few possible signs that a child may display if abused. As parents, we must all be vigilante & keep a close eye on our children. Watch out for any unusual or disturbing behavior & be open with your children. It is okay to ask your child if anyone has touched them inappropriately. Keep the conversation simple & remain calm, no matter what your child says. If you suspect abuse, seek help from a trusted source, such as a family doctor, or mental health provider.

Merrifield Nursery Emergency Gravity Sewer ReplacementFairfax County
During a routine Closed-Circuit Television (CCTV) Camera inspection by Wastewater Collection Division (WCD), it was found that 45 linear feet of 8-inch asbestos reinforced concrete pipe (RCP) between MH-292 to MH-291 was within imminent danger of failing. The bottom of the RCP was missing within the 45 linear feet of repair and the pipe was on the verge of surcharging. After an immediate pre-construction meeting with Merrifield Nursery, it was agreed to work from 6pm-10am everyday of the week to avoid disruption and potentially placing patrons at risk during the biggest time of the year for Merrifield Garden Center. The contractor mobilized to the site and began the 20-foot excavation to replace 45 linear feet of broken gravity sewer. The project started on March 14th, 2022 and was substantially complete on March 23, 2022.

In a May 9, 2024 paper, Juri Opitz from the University of Zurich, along with Shira Wein and Nathan Schneider form Georgetown University, discussed the importance of linguistic expertise in natural language processing (NLP) in an era dominated by large language models (LLMs).
The authors explained that while machine translation (MT) previously relied heavily on linguists, the landscape has shifted. “Linguistics is no longer front and center in the way we build NLP systems,” they said. With the emergence of LLMs, which can generate fluent text without the need for specialized modules to handle grammar or semantic coherence, the need for linguistic expertise in NLP is being questioned.
