Kids aren't Prey!
Should I begin this note with a trigger warning?
Allow me to bring your attention to some recent mis-happenings (as reported in the Indian News Media):
September 2022, Bhopal, India:
"A 3-year-old girl was sexually abused by the driver of the School bus, on her way home. That too, in the presence of a female bus attendant.”
October 2022, Delhi, India:
“A 10-year-old boy who was sexually abused by 3 neighbourhood boys aged 10-12 years (including his cousin), DIES IN HOSPITAL.”
October 2022, Delhi, India:
"A Class 11th girl student was sexually abused by school boys in the School Toilet. Teacher allegedly asked her to remain silent.”
These are just 3 of the recent cases of child sexual abuse that hit the news headlines.
There is a 4th one too that caught my attention in January 2023. Read on...
"An eight-year-old boy was sexually abused allegedly by a group of senior students inside the washroom of a Delhi-based school. The incident came to light when the boy's mother, while giving him a bath, noticed a nylon thread tied around his genitals. They rushed him to the hospital and the doctors examining him reported it to the Police."
The harsh reality is this – Childhood sexual abuse scars the mind of a child (and later, the adult) in inexplicably traumatic ways, including a very detrimental effect on their growth and development! Some develop addictions to porn and prostitution, while some become abusers themselves, while most suffer in silence with body image and self-esteem issues.
As per a Government of India survey, 1 in 2 kids in India have experienced sexual abuse and 1 in 5 has faced “severe” sexual abuse. Of which the majority of those abused, were boys!
These news reports are just the tip of an iceberg!
Many 100s or even 1000s of such cases of child sexual abuse go unreported every day.
Why? Fear, perhaps!Honest and open communication on topics pertaining to “Sexuality” is not encouraged in our Society.
Private parts are referred to as “Shame Shame”. Since, in about 90% cases of child sexual abuse, the abuser is “known” to the kid, their voices either go unheard or are suppressed.
Talking to children and young people about “Sexuality” is never easy, rather, it’s tricky! This is so because each parent, each family has its own set of ideologies, sensitivity, beliefs and value systems.
Then, how does one prevent the most vulnerable, gullible and innocent of all, i.e., our kids from predators on the prowl & out to abuse children, sexually?
The answer, we believe, is simple!BY EDUCATING THEIR CARETAKERS i.e. ADULTS & PARENTS.
