Illinois has tried stopping child sexual abuse by passing acts that prohibit child abuse and has build organizations that bring awareness to child sexual abuse. Some of the acts that illinois has passed are like the Child Sexual Abuse Awareness and Prevention Act 3 and Erin's Law5. Both acts bring awareness to child sexual abuse because they teach people the signs and show them how to support the victim so that they can get through the situation.
