[quote=Anonymous]I’m not trying to distract from the main question — it’s good to prepare kids for all possible dangers. But sometimes it’s easy to get distracted by the dramatic stories and miss the much more common threats right under our noses:

1. Most youth SA (s*x abuse) happens in the family or extended family, from teachers or coaches or spiritual leaders, among family friends, etc. Try to nurture an environment where your children can always come to you with difficult questions, and teach them to beware of ANY circumstances that feel off, not just from strangers.

2. Intervention from bystanders is one of the most effective ways to prevent SA in group situations like parties or school trips or sports. Encourage your kids to look out for one another.

3. Abuse of all kinds in teenage romantic relationships is more common than we’d like to think. Teach your kids what to look for.

4. Among things to look out for, teach them about things like “love bombing” as well as “grooming” type tactics. It’s counter-intuitive that someone being TOO nice or helpful or interested can be a red flag, and not all young people will naturally have that on their radar. [/quote]
