I'm proud to be a child. Our Voice: Our Future!...

LoveBirds evening Reflection with Praise Fowowe(c)2013

Your Child and Sex 23– AWARENESS & I (5-8years)

Bro Praise, I want to lend my voice to this issue of child sexual abuse and to warn parents on the need for them to be observant because I am just trying to break out of what my uncle... subjected me to. He was so fond of me that my parents never suspected anything as he would insist I came to his house for weekend and you must believe this I saw all kinds of things in his house. He wasn’t married at the time little did we know he was gay. I was 7 and saw him have sex with men and he warned me not to tell anyone. One of his male friends started practising same with me and I remember how I complained to my parents that I don’t want to be going to his house again because he was a bad uncle and how my mother shouted me down never to say that about her younger brother again. I remember complaining several times of anal pains and was told it was because I was dirty. Before I knew it I developed same tendency for males and touched quite a number of male friends. I am not married but I can tell you I have secretly followed your write up in the last 5years and can tell you I have kept off gay in the last 2years. Please parents need to help their children against household enemies(Isaac – Benin).

If you have not started teaching your child basic sexuality education as a parent, what you are doing is co-operating with the predator to molest your child. You will not always be around your kids but by empowering them against the predator it becomes difficult for them to be sexually molested because the strength of every predator is the ignorance of a child. What should your child do when the predator comes calling? Teach your child to Say No, Report to parents and teachers , Run away , Shout or bite the person.
You don’t have to wait till your child is molested we all need to protect every child around us because no child is really safe until every child becomes safe.

Almost all sexual relationships starts from the home with close relations like uncles, aunty, fathers,cooks,drivers,lesson teachers and neighbour. Therefore,the need to watch closely to the activeties and closeness of how how people relate at the home front is vitally important.
