Ms. Fox first developed MY Child Safety Institute’s ⁠Safety Kid child abuse prevention program⁠ in 2006 for the Aleinu Family Resource Center (Aleinu) of Jewish Family Service of Los Angeles (JFSLA) in response to a series of heinous incidents of child abuse that occurred in LA’s Orthodox Jewish community around that time.
