M, thank you bringing up this important topic. I work with adults who were abused as children, the stories are horrific.

Thank God for His healing power for wounded hearts.

Sexual abuse may also come from kids in the same school, not just molesting adults. Usually, bullies would pick on the weak kids and molest them.

Parents must also be aware that at certain stages of childhood, children are curious about their bodies and the opposite gender, and might be tempted to explore other children’s bodies, including other children from the same gender, or siblings.
I found the content of this entry very useful for parents

I Totally Agree With What You Said…
My Mother Last Year Did This Child Sexual Abuse Awareness Campaign Here In Riyadh, And Many People Were Against Her.

We Usually Tend To Look The Other Way, And Convince Ourselves That We’re Angelic Beings Who Never Do Anything Wrong, But Every Year The Numbers Are Rising Gradually.

And The Scary Thing Is, How Can We Prevent It!!.
Is There a Way To Stop It COMPLETELY ?!

HishMaj,
I feel that men need to wear the veil more than women lol!
I agree, communication is the key element in every part of our life

Its all good planning, but there is a major roadblock in the first point itself. Its “communication” that matters the most and unfortunately, it is something that is still hidden behind the veil (where veil, in this context, is worn by both men and women ).

coralbead,
Exactly as you said, there are many stories that showed how the school has become unsafe place.. Thank you Coralbead for sharing your thoughts

Totally agree Qusay,
but the problem we have here in Saudi is that the problem hasn’t been discussed in the public and in media. so, there are many people who think that it doesn’t exist in our society.
the problem can happen both ways, but the studies has shown that girls are more likely to be abused by male teacher than boys to be abused by a female teacher.
Thank you for your thoughtful comment

Do not forget that abuse happens both ways, boys are sexually abused by female teachers and care takers also.

If you go back to history you would be surprised at what you would find.

This happens in ALL cultures from ancient Japanese warriors, Spartans, Greeks, Arabs, Africans, Europiens, and the native people of the Americas and Australia.

The list does not stop. It is an abusive characteristic in humans…

I know how you feel about school not being a safe place for children. I was once a high school teacher, and one of my students had been shot to death just outside the school gate (at a time when he should have been in class). A kidnapping almost occurred one time too. And to think the school was considered the most safest in the city because of its guards, high walls, and strict regulations.
