Abuse of a girl is always a heartbreaking story, still happening in daily life. This incident also raises concerns for parents with young children.
Parents need to find a way to protect their children from similar incidents.
According to psychologists, the best method for children is early education, helping them understand their gender, prevention methods or informing adults about unsafe moves that others take for children.
Psychologists say that sex education should start when children are 4-5 years old. Continuously emphasize the importance of the body, teach children how to handle if others touch them or make movements that feel harmful. At the same time, help children distinguish between men and women by teaching them to sleep separately and bathe separately with someone of the opposite sex.
In cases where there are invitations or outings from strangers, parents also need to teach their children to proactively refuse. In case the child is forced to run away, teach the child to scream as loudly as possible and run in the opposite direction. When at home alone, children need to be taught how to ensure that they do not arbitrarily open the door to anyone other than their parents or siblings.
When going to school, children also need to play right in the sight of teachers to be protected in a safe environment. Regularly mock situations so that children have more experience in handling situations that may arise.
