Sexual Abuse Pt. 3

What Can You Do?

Protect your children. Teach your children what appropriate sexual behavior is and when to say “no” if someone tries to touch sexual parts of their bodies or touch them in any way that makes them feel uncomfortable. Also, observe your children when they interact with others to see if they are hesitant or particularly uncomfortable around certain adults. It is critical to provide adequate supervision for your children and only leave them in the care of individuals whom you deem safe. (2)

Seek Professional Help

We cannot be with our kids 24/7 and I was taught right from wrong. I was also well looked after and cared for so…not all victim of sexual abuse come from careless parents or the like.  For me…it happened to that I can help someone else struggling. I see people on talk shows saying that they kill people; molest people, rape, steal, and lie, etc…because they were abused. I really can speak from that point of view because I fell like if I know what it’d like and how it feels…WHY would I subject someone else to it? That’s just me tho.

I encourage you to read the story of the Life of Dorothy Dandridge…it will show you that no matter how beautiful, talented, awesome a person may be…the inner turmoil exists.
