This short viral video brings a mom’s worst nightmare come true. We as an individual need to ask ourselves few questions and as parents we need to constantly keep looking out for signs that our child might show sometime. We should also make them aware of “Good/acceptable touch and Bad/Inappropriate touch”. In most cases the abuser is well known to the family and the touch that may seem innocuous initially may turn offensive later.
Always keep looking out for signs like:
• Nightmares and sleeping problems
• Becoming withdrawn or very clingy
• Sudden unexplained personality changes, mood swings and seeming insecure
• Regressing to younger behaviors, e.g. bedwetting, thumb sucking or talking to soft toys
• Unaccountable fear of particular places or people”
• Physical signs, such as, unexplained soreness or bruises around genitals or mouth
• Most importantly- LISTEN and BELIEVE your kids when they tell you something. Chances are that they might only tell you once or twice.
Watch the video below and see how a mother’s nightmare came true when it was least expected.
