Content: Several studies report that the most common sexual predator is not some stranger, but actually someone well-known to you or your child, as unpleasant as it is to consider. The key is to notice any strange behaviour from either your child or the adult in question. Abused children exhibit noticeable signs of distress in the presence of their abuser. Understanding that your child might be suffering means that you will have to rid yourself of any bias you might have for the potential abuser, no matter how close they are to you. This is understandably very difficult to do, especially if the potential abuser is a friend, family member or even your spouse, but always remember that your child depends on you for her safety and happiness. Making Your Child Aware of Child Abuse
This is not an era where people shy away from mentioning anything sexual around their children. Children are quite able to grasp complex topics like sexuality and abuse. But you should be careful while explaining your child about sexual identity. You should explain how certain regions of her body are private, elaborate on how these spaces are delicate and must be protected from intrusion. Teach her to say no to strangers who offer treats or rides.
