Interview: Sexual Abuse – How Can We Protect Our Children?
As human persons, we are made in the image and likeness of God. The only appropriate response to each and every one of us is love. To be loved as God loves, and never to be used or abused.
This is why sexual abuse of minors is one issue that all of us parents should be concerned with.
Are there warning signs that we can look out for in our children that might indicate they have been sexually abused? As parents, how can we protect our children from this scourge? What can we do to minimise their vulnerability? Are there any avenues we can turn to, should anything untoward happen to our children in this area?
In this interview with Dr Christopher Cheok, Senior Consultant at the Institute of Mental Health, we address these questions and more.
