NEW YORK (1010 WINS/AP)-- In an attempt to boost their abuse-prevention efforts, the Boy Scouts of America announced a new awareness program Thursday featuring cartoon-style videos that will be provided to more than 1.2 million Cub Scouts across the nation.The six-series videos target children from kindergarten to sixth grade, and aims to teach children how to recognize potentially abusive behavior and what to do if confronted by it.The initiative comes as the Boy Scouts possibly face a series of abuse-related lawsuits now that several states have enacted laws this year making it easier for victims of long-ago abuse to file claims.
