Child abuse - sexual
From Healthscout's partner site on ADHD, HealthCentral.com
Sexual abuse - children Prevention Prevention involves teaching children never to keep secrets and the difference between "good" and "bad" touches. Parents need to begin this work at home. Most schools now have programs to teach young school-aged children about sexual abuse and its prevention. Teenagers also need to be taught how to avoid rape and date rape. Constant supervision and vigilance by adults is essential to preventing all forms of child abuse. References Johnson CF. Abuse and neglect of children.
