When thinking about Iowa, we not only get reminded that it’s a state with lots of people and their families, but also of the oldest land grant college in the USA, the University of Iowa, second home thousands of young adults, especially young women, who are potential professionals.
I don’t know about you, but the next thing I get reminded of is crime rate statistics. Mostly, sex offenders, if any of the young children or young adults, fell prey to these kinds of individuals it can result to trauma and shattered dreams of the future. Exactly the kind of thing we wouldn’t want to happen to anybody we know.
Cases of harassment, molestation and rape remind us that we would always have to take extra care of ourselves and our children during our daily lives.
