Preventing Sexual Abuse
INTERVENTION
-
SEXUAL abuse is a destroyer of hope, aspiration and dreams. No child is immune, male or female .
Sometimes these abusers are within the school confines, trusted by parent, school owners and communities. Some other times they are outside of the schools targeting and carrying out their devilish activities on innocent children and adolescents.
They are sometimes groomers; they are the ones that take the time to plan their crime over years. They start out very friendly to the child, in turn earning their trust. Instructing them on keeping “friendly secrets” and turning them into their “properties”. They scare these child, threaten him/her and make the child feel worthless with no sense of dignity and innocence.
Sexual abuse is a very serious crime against the child and community and it is best prevented than managed.
School systems must ensure total guarantee of the Childs innocence until it is appropriate for them to learn about sex in the right way.
Every child will have some level of contact with formal education in a school in our country, so that is where we believe we should start from.
