Here’s how to empower your kid to speak against child abuse.

Recognize the red flags: Any changes in behavior can indicate a red flag. Changes in mood, sleep, appetite and somatic complaints such as headaches, stomachaches suggest emotional discomfort. If your child strongly expresses not wanting to go to school or be around a particular person, take it seriously and reassure the child that they won’t be punished for speaking up.

What is private is private: Having a clear conversation with children, that besides themselves only a parent (if the child is below 4 years), a doctor can touch their private parts and that if anyone else does, the parents need to be told. Read What to do when your child has been sexually abused?

Identify the adults in your child s life: It is important for parents to know who is interacting with their child on a regular basis and build a rapport with them. This makes potential predators wary of approaching their children, knowing the child has a strong bond with their family and has an extended strong social support system to fall back on. Predators generally target victims who lack social support from family and friends, making them easy targets.

Monitor your child s devices: Sexual predators are often targeting children through social media and chatting networks. It is important to monitor mobile and internet use and set appropriate boundaries.
