[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's not about what your kids do so quit victim
Blaming. It's about YOU THE PARENT. Do you give your kid enough attention? Does anyone who know you know you would kill a human who harmed them? Kids who have that aren't chosen as victims because the abuser knows they aren't good targets.

Kids who aren't shown love and acceptance at home are targeted. Abusers can tell they are hungry for attention and what will pass as "love." Kids who are taught to unconditionally obey an authority like, idk, THE CHURCH, are targeted. Parents make kids victims, not the kids. [/quote]

It's really funny that you say quit victim blaming and then blame the parents!  Also, I think it's a mistake to think you can insulate your kids in some way.  I think that sort of complacency is dangerous, as is the complacency of thinking you only need to worry about strangers, or  that you can tell who is a threat and who is not.

I agree with the pp's about teaching them from the beginning that their bodies are theirs (as are other people's bodies), about tricky adults, about adults who try to get them to keep secrets that don't feel good, about not forcing affection, correctly naming body parts, etc.  Most of all, try to tell them and show them that they can come to me with anything, that I won't be mad at them, and so forth.[/quote]
