Child Abuse.

Child abuse is very common in our society. 1 out of 3 children get abused each day and by abuse i mean sexual, verbal and physical abuse. As much as its sad to know that these statistics are true what makes me more sad is the fact that we still don't do anything about it. The most common type of abuse is sexual. A child is usually abused by someone who is trusted by the child or by his/her parents. The first way to avoid it is not to leave your children with other people. I'm amazed by how many parents trust their servants with their toddlers. If you can't take your own children to the park play with them at home and if you don't have time for even that then don't make babies in the first place. Parents should find time to sit with them and talk every day just to know how their day went. Children should know they can tell you if anything bad happens. They should be able to trust you. Moreover give them a training session every few months, tell them the difference between a right touch and a wrong touch and what they should do if somebody touches them the wrong way. Many children grow up suffering because either they were too scared to tell anyone or when they finally did they were told to never talk about it again. It ruins the child's self esteem and destroys the psyche. the fear of those culprits never leaves them and they get left behind in everything. Moreover they'll find it hard to make friends or trust people. Children need professional counselling after such incidents therefore don't ignore it. I request all the parents to start educating themselves and their children about child abuse. Its about time.
