No one is able to protect his or her child all the time and in every situation and to lock out any dangerous moments in its life, but we may reduce the danger by following these 2 advises:
- Check all persons, who are left alone with the child or take care of it.
- Talk with the kids about maltreatment and abusers and how it may recognise them and react, if it gets in contact with them (yell, run, tell). Also explain the difference between "safe" and "unsafe" secrets.
It has to feel confident about using safety strategies.
These are important facts, which make a child's life more safe and which may prevent any kind of abuse.
