Girl child and sexual abuse

I was busy with my house chores today and then this thought came to mind and I decided to write about it. The rate at which little girls are being exposed to sexual abuse is becoming very alarming and that is due to the kind of exposure some parents allow. Lots of ladies out there always begin their childhood stories with painful memories of being abused either by family members or outsiders. And so i decided to drop a few tips to help safe guard our female children.

I for one do not succumb to the idea of sending a young child to spend holiday with someone when you aren't there. A child you still have to tell 'shout and run away if someone touches you anyhow' or who doesn't yet understand the fact that when silly advances are being at her she needs to leave that vicinity, isn't qualified to go stay with someone when you as the parent isn't there.

Also, this idea of sending a child to go get you something outside wearing either mini-skirts or knicker that exposes the laps of the child to the public or even singlets simply because she is a small child or as we claim"she doesn't have anything yet" is very wrong. It sends the wrong signal to the men out there and one day they would drag her to a corner and get her abused and then the painful story begins. A child should be properly dressed when ever she is going outside the house, at least to cover sensitive parts of her body. 

We also have scenarios where someone comes to the house, probably to visit and then sees your child, carries her and then starts giving her silly pecks all in the name of play and you're there. What! (you dare not try that near my child). You come to visit and each time you come you place her on you lap, wait! Are you her father? Even an uncle isn't permitted.

Lastly, collecting unnecessary gifts for your children. Wait fess, I didn't say you shouldn't collect gifts given to your children. But biscuit today, viju tomorrow, next is chocolate, then ice-cream is too much. Check out when its becoming too much because the person giving knows his intention is to secure a place in your heart so you don't suspect anything.

These and many others that we know will help protect our female children.
