How well do you know your child/ children? Study shows that most children are sexually molested by relatives and those close to them but kids fear reporting them due to fear and lack of a strong bond between them and their parents. It is my prayer that this video gives a bit of an insight to what actually happens and helps us protect our little ones more. #awarenesscampaign #sexualawareness #realtalkwithlosh #realtalk2024

As a parent or caregiver, addressing problematic sexual behaviors in children and adolescents can be difficult, but you’re not alone. Other families have faced similar situations and have emerged stronger. With the right support, youths can move on to lead healthier and more productive lives. Safer Society Foundation offers the Taking Action booklets, which provide practical insights and guidance to help your family through this journey. These booklets can even be downloaded for free, so please share if you can. https://lnkd.in/e6DbqaBK #FamilySupport #TeenHealth #Resilience #SaferSociety #MentalHealth #SexualAbusePrevention #ProblematicSexualBehaviors

One of the most upsetting experiences parents can have is to learn that their child has been involved in the sexual abuse of another child. Of course, the first concern is the abuse victim’s safety. But parents and caregivers also have a great deal of concern about the child responsible for the abuse. The sheer number of questions about what to do next—and the emotions that flow from them—is overwhelming. Addressing those questions is what the Taking Action booklets are about. They are designed for parents and caregivers as they deal with serious questions like these: 🔹Will my child do it again? 🔹Does my child need treatment? 🔹What is the best kind of treatment for my child? 🔹How do I help my child deal with the legal implications of their actions? 🔹What do I tell family members and friends?

The silence is deafening, but the statistics are loud and clear. Child sexual abuse is a critical yet often unspoken issue that affects countless children worldwide, leaving scars that can last a lifetime. As caregivers, we have a responsibility to shatter the silence and take action. Child sexual abuse can happen to any child, even as young as 3 months. Let's work together to create a safer world for our children. As caregivers (including anyone with a child in their circle of influence), we must be vigilant, recognise signs, speak up, and take action. Let's learn to: - Identify indicators - Report suspicions - Support survivors Share your experiences and insights in the comments. Together, we can make a difference. #ChildSexualAbusePrevention #ProtectOurChildren
