Good Touch and Bad Touch | Child Abuse Prevention

 

Studies say that 4 children are abused or molested every 1 hour in India. 3-7 years of kids are highly targeted. It’s highly important that we educate them and help them safeguard themselves today. At such a tender age where you can’t explain the consequences, using the method of educating them on Good Touch and Bad Touch can be easier to educate those innocent minds. 

A parent must know that is not gendered biased and both girls and boys of any tender age can be a victim of this shameful act. It’s highly shameful to even acknowledge that the culprits can be close relatives, someone from your friends’ family or anybody in school. Even abuser can be man or a woman. It worries me to think “Where is my child safe?”. Instead of worrying I decided to educate my child and support other parents in doing the same with this article.
