The burden of prevention has been resting for years on the smallest shoulders in our society, the children who are most vulnerable, least likely to be able to protect themselves from a powerful adult. This is especially true when considering that the majority of sexual abuse happens at the hands of an adult well known to the child.When children are abused by adults they are also confused by the fact that this person is supposed to be a protector, a care taker, and worthy of trust simply by being an adult ,( after all, we also teach children to obey adults, which can be very confusing) , child abusers are very often experts at emotional manipulation of children, gaining their trust well in advance of the of the actual abuse, in light of these fact(and many others), it is clear that the time has come for adults to assume responsibility for protecting children.
BREAK THE CYCLE OF SILENCE .
