The shame i hold when i was a little girl from being abused but a evil man that took advantage of me when i was so vunerable makes me more aware of all the predators that are around us.I see kids laughting and playing and enjoying life but when this
happens it changes your childs life so much they come very withdrawn,angry at life,can be suidual,can be self harm.The emtional scares that a child can hold as alot of the time they hold it in.As they are so frightened that the predator will harm them or noone will beleive them .They could be worried as it can someone close and or family and they may think its a right thing but the feeling is horrible in there heart they know it isnt right.As an adult i think to stop these people is to take these steps
Know who your kids are with
Listen to what your kids say
Watch the body launage and the interaction on both
If a babysitter is taking care make sure with the Police checks and also the refereneces that they must provide
Watch your kids play with objects as alot of time they play in what they see or feel and also drawings
The solution is make sure you know your neighbourhood and keep an eye out on warnings and act as quickly as possible if anything dosnt look right.
Such as :
Someone watching children
Someone approaching children
Someone taling unwanted photos
Someone offering promises like i will give u a nice big bag of lollies if u come with me(stranger danger)
The good sloution is know where your safe houses are such on the street near the schools and make sure the children know its safe to go there.Also parents should pick up and drop kids at school.And advoince being late -if older kids make sure they ride home with a friend prefernece on the same street so both r safe.
They is another good way is the kid to have a mobile that they may ring up in emgeneceies they do have the phones made for this purpose so child can ring parent
Also child to ride or walk the same way so u know where there coming from and how long it should take them eg 20mins if no arrival to go and look for them.
But the abuse does happen with family memebers and trusted people so they child needs to be aware that such behavior is not right and they can always talk to u and you will listen and they wont be in as long its the truth.
I think today is so fast paced and somtimes things can be not seen but as a parent of 2 i will always listen to my kiddies and i will do the best i can do is protect them i hope this information helps.
