[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] Great idea from another forum. Thank you! Please share any possible red flags and grooming tricks used by child predators. Grooming techniques are commonly used on parents and children, plus any other adults around. Sometimes a predator will do something highly inappropriate to his own child in front of another potential victim child, just to make it appear perfectly normal. I think sometimes children might freeze up, not knowing for sure how to respond. Depending on your own child, maybe it’s helpful to role model saying “Get away from me!” I do know when a child doesn’t feel like giving anyone (like a visiting relative) a hug, it’s important to always support that decision no matter the situation. When children are play fighting and one says “stop!”, I always make sure that demand is instantly obeyed. Absolutely no reasons are expected. No means no. Period. Our children deserve basic safety. It’s not really their job to fend for themselves. It’s our job to stay vigilant. No classroom, daycare, play date, sport, sleepover, trip, or drive is worth risking our child’s basic safety. If you don’t feel 110% confident in accessing someone, always ask around before you ever entrust them to be responsible for your child. It doesn’t matter if it’s a teacher, coach, tutor, neighbor, relative, friend’s parent, sitter, minister, priest, rabbi or party entertainer. No one should get alone time or easy access opportunities with your child without your careful, continued scrutiny.
