    Child sexual abuse is on the rise. Innocent children are made victims and this affects their social, mental and psychological development. there should be an end to this. Laws are useless. Any suggestions so as to prevent child sexual abuse.

    I think laws should be in place. Stricter laws can put an end to this menace. If strict laws and punishments are enforced then this will deter perpetrators of such crimes.

    We should make our kids aware about different forms of sexual abuse. Kids should know the difference between good and bad touch. With increase in such crimes, it would be better if schools have a subject on preventing sexual crimes..

    I agree together we can make a difference. We as parents try to teach our kids ways to be safe but schools also have a role to play. If schools take part in this initiative, then a lot more can be done and such crimes would soon be a thing of past.

    Hi, sexual abuse is one such thing which is increasing day by day in our country. This is one such problem which is not at all acceptable in our society. It can happen with anyone and anywhere. You cannot protect your child every single time as you are not with them, but you can take some measures which can reduce the risk of your child being a victim of sexual abuse. It is important to remember that if the child has been a victim of sexual abuse you and your child are not to be blamed and only the perpetrator should be blamed.

    Hi I agree with you and whatever you are saying is absolutely right. You can protect your child if you start taking precautions from the start. There have been many cases of sexual abuse in schools, coaching classes and many other places. We as parents should be knowing all the things of our child. Take an initiative and get involved in his day to day activities. Try to ask them normally what they did in the school today and with whom did they have lunch. Did they enjoy their day and have fun at school. All these questions can give you a rough outlook of his life.

    Yes I totally side by you that we should be involved in out child’s life completely. They are small and not mature enough to know if something wrong might be happening with them. Being actively involved with them can give us the idea if anything wrong is happening to him or her and if they are troubled by anything. Help the child feel comfortable and normal if you feel something is not right. It is important for us to know with whom he interacts and spends his time with, plays with are they children or teens or even adults.

    Being parents it is our duty to understand our children and to know with whom they interact in day to day life. Talk about every person openly who is related to your child and also equally make him feel that it is just normal conversation. It is necessary to choose the caregivers of our child wisely. The baby-sitter, new school, school bus, coaching classes, extra-curricular activities. Be smart enough to choose the caregivers after a proper screening and make sure your children are in safer hands. Encourage your child to talk and be frank about what he feels.

    Hello all, this is a very serious issue and children mostly don’t speak about the things happening with them. They are usually scared of being embarrassed or humiliated and also are scared that their parents might punish them. Give them the confidence that you are always there for them and start small conversation where they can open up to you and speak up without any kind of fear. It is never too late to start a conversation which will help your kid be secure. You tell them that if they feel anything wrong is happening with them then they should come and tell you.

    It also important for us to tell and teach our children about boundaries. It is necessary to tell the child which touch is right and which is wrong. It is necessary for the child to know that no one has a right to touch them and make them uncomfortable. Touch can be as simple as a hug, normal touch and even tickling from family members. Teach your children about the different body parts, and also tell them that they cannot give right to anybody to tough their body. It is important that they make their point clear that they do not want to be touched.
