Courting the attention of no one in particular, the young girl dressed in knee-high boots, a miniskirt and heavy makeup saunters along the pathway that snakes alongside the basketball courts at a Westminster playground. Although her provocative attire suggests there is more to her story, this much is clear: the carefree days of a 10-year-old seem to have eluded the pretty fifth-grader. Fortunately, for Rachel Kotmair of Westminster, it's all an act. On a recent sunny day, the scene is captured on camera for It's Up To Us, an instructional video that will be used to train teachers, doctors, ministers and community organizations, such as local parent-teacher associations, about the importance of reporting suspected child sexual abuse.
