However, some of these conversations can seem uncomfortable it can help them protect themselves without being fearful. From Elementary School to college, education becomes more complex and some social issues kids have to deal with. Mary pew, the executive director of the Child Advocacy project, an organization that offers Pro Bono Legal services for children who are victimles of abuse.

Reporter as the new school year starts, kids are introduced to new adults in their lives like teachers and coaches. 75 to 85 of those who harm children are people close to the family and known to the child. So stranger danger sernot effective. Reporter she says regardless of age, children should know they have a safety net of a few adults and there should be no secrets kids keep from their parents. When kids are very young, want to say, this is your body. This is your boundary. And no one is allowed to touch the bathing suit area ever. Reporter pew suggests teaching by role playing and what if scenarios. Just like kids dont learn how to write a bike through talking, they dont learn safety skills just through talking. Make sure your young ones always have access to a phone and know how to dial 911. Make sure you have access to all your childrens social media sites and check them weekly. These conversations will not membersly fun should be frank and continue through middle school, high school and college as issues get more complex. They need to be prepared about what do in case of emergencies for themselves or a friend that they know that they can have that conversation with you and youre going to tell them straight.

It is a fresh beginning to see whos in your class and which teacher you got. We want to say good luck with this new year of learning to everybody. Thats for sure. All right, time for sports. Jamies here. Eagles still making some trades and they get closer to that first game sunday. Reporter theyre not stopping. Right. I know. Theyre keeping us very busy. Do you think howie rosen gets paid overtime . Because hes been busy too. Another deal for the eagles. Today its quarterback eric row they part with. Traded for josh klein in a conditional fourthround pick in 2018. Row was a secondround pick last year. He hasnt doneand he wasnt done much and he wasnt on the depth chart. Of course, the deal everyone is talking about still is the one that rosen pulled off last week. My, how that changed things. Like this. One sports book had the eagles at 4 01ods. Theyve since been downgraded to 100 1. No rookie has ever taken the team to a super bowl. Hes worried about the cleveland browns, week one opponent, six days from now. The team had the day off. Thats five days now actually. I missed a day. Team has the day off today but wentz in the meeting room getting ready. Knows it wont be an easy road. Thats the way life is. Its that the way football is. Especially young quarterbacks usually experience some bumps in the road. Im just going to take them in stride. Im going to learn from our mistakes and keep Getting Better and keep putting this team in good situations to win some ball games. Its obviously a huge deal for him, obviously coming in, not having much time during the preseason but i think hes going to be more than ready. Obviously, i think the coaches are doing a good job of not trying to put too much on his plate and not making him teal like hes got to go out there and win this game and really its going to have to be more of a collaborative effort from the team. It might have to be that way on the o line as well. For now lane johnson is the starting left tackle. He still has yet to receive word on his suspension from the nfl. If that ruling does come down, he could appeal which would also make him eligible to play on sunday. Johnson says he has no idea whats taking so long. Its just a long, draggedout process.

The coach said the problem wasnt the execution but the intensit to focus the attitude. We play hard. We play physical at times. We didnt compete at the level from me on down we didnt compete at the level we want to in terms of joining the competition. Its like when you start play like you feel like youre letting everybody down, you dont myplay at a high level.

Were about to get seriously hot under the collar for a little bit of weather here in september. Yeah. Another heat wave. Another heat wave, number seven of the year. Those temperatures are going to be well above normal, in fact, records by the end of the week. It its kind of a 50 50 shot right now. West of the city, it is fairly clear. Clouds are building east to the city. And even some showers now scraping the coastline from ocean county, burlington county, even Atlantic County and Northern Cape may county, a couple of sprinkles. And all of this is just actually the western edge of hermine, the bands of rain that are wrapping in from that Tropical Storm off to the east. Winding sustained at 50 miles an hour so getting a little wet from long beach island, approaching Atlantic City and all of this will continue to priv pivot down to the south. The heaviest of the rain is about 15 to 20 miles off the coast. But, again, where the sunshine was plentiful this afternoon, temperatures did hit 90 in some spots. Right now 82 in pottstown, 86 in coatesville, if you see some fringe clouds, meaning kind of the edge of the clouds in this area, when the sun sets, get out there, take some pictures, because with the edge of some Tropical Storm clouds, they do keyate some spectacular sun rises and sunsets. Where you are to the east, too cloudy to capture that image. As you see the cooler temperatures with the rain and the clouds, toms river, 70, 72 in surf city and as you head coast west, 86 degrees in hockessin. Theres the center of hermine. Again, earlier today, it was right about here. Now it is right about here. So it continues its slow westerly path here with the clouds as far west as philadelphia, montgomerying, bucks county and the rain just hugging the shore line at this point in the center of hermine will get closest to us tomorrow morning before finally pushing out to sea. So for tonight, its clear west of the city, clouds a few showers along the coast, 65, to 71 degrees. The setup as we get into wednesday, the center of hermine continues to drift away. That starts to allow the heat thats building in the midsection of the country and the northern plains, ohio valley, to push to the east. So 91 tomorrow. And just slightly humid. Then as we get into thursday, this warm front continues to lift to the north. The true hazy, hot, humid weather punctures into the midatlantic. So 95 on thursday and feeling like the upper 90s and maybe trying to touch 100 degrees. So not only does it get hot with the air temperature, the humidity will spike. Its going to feel awful here by thursday. A little break but still humid on friday. Then back to the tropical levels on saturday before finally the true break arrives with the cold front early on sunday to really drop it off sunday afternoon. The exclusive accuweather sevenday forecast 91 tomorrow, moderately humid, hazy, hot, humid. 95 on thursday. Partly sunny, hot again, 94 on friday. Record heat, 96 saturday where we could again feel close to 100 degrees over the beginning of the weekend. The cold front comes through saturday night, early sunday, with a scattered shower or thunderstorm. Dropping techs in the 80s sunday afternoon. Dropping humidity as well. And then beautiful here monday and tuesday, low 80s, low humidity, but we still have to get through four days of those very uncomfortable temperatures before that arrives. All right.
