 Domestic violence and child abuse is a hidden epidemic — a public health crisis dismissed by the police, by the courts by our Governments world wide, a crime discounted or covered up. And YES, domestic violence, murder, manslaughter, rape, sexual abuse, child abuse are crimes, but you certainly would not know it, with how the victims are treated. The perpetrators of these crimes either walk away or get a slap on the wrist in so many cases.

Just a few days ago we watched a video from a news report in the USA of a vicious assault on a woman on the side walk out side homes. The assault went on for 20 minutes, no one tried to stop the guy from beating this woman with the full force of his fist on her body and face. One guy filmed it all. There were at least a dozen people just standing and watching. Eventually some one did call the police. No charges were laid against the guy even though the video evidence clearly showed the assault taking place. 

This is a direct quote from a USA police officer. "We don't like attending domestic violence incidences, they are dangerous, so we quite often ignore them." Wow we were shocked to actually hear those words from the USA, very similar to Australia. 
So victims of domestic violence are just meant to die. That about some's it up.
Police in Australia will ask a victim if they actually do attend an incident of abuse; they ask the victim did they try and defend themselves. If the victim says yes, what was i meant to do let him beat me to death. We have had police officers say. "Well we will have to charge you also." WHAT?? This is crazy right- but reality.

 Abuse has become a public health crisis world wide. 
We have to start educating our children about abuse — all abuse. You as a parent are your children's educator. It is primarily up to you to teach your child about abuse. But in order to do this you as a parent, or a woman, a man; you have to educated yourself.

Abuse — is a public health crisis dismissed by the police, by the courts by our Governments world wide, a crime discounted or covered up. 
And YES, domestic violence, murder, manslaughter, rape, sexual abuse, child abuse are crimes, but you certainly would not know it, with how the victims are treated.

Ignorance hides violence so does silence. 
Abuse leaves scars for the rest of your life. Do not let your child be another child to carry those scars. 
Millions of children and adults around the world  commit suicide because of abuse. 
Do not let your child or someone you know be another statistic.

Anxiety from abuse, trauma The memories, the psychological abuse lasts a life time.
Anxiety, PTSD, anorexia, cutting, OCD, high bloody pressure, binge eating, heart attache, health problems, even cardiomyopathy which is a heart condition; from anxiety from being a victim of abuse. This sums up perfectly the symptoms, the effects of anxiety, we wanted to share this with any one who is suffering from anxiety. You are not alone and do not let anyone shame you for having anxiety. Anxiety can happen to adults and children even the family pet.

 All parents want to protect their children from predators, but how do you keep your kids safe when you don't know how to spot one? Anyone can be a child molester or a pedophile, so identifying one can be difficult — especially because most child molesters or pedophiles are initially trusted by the children they abuse. Read on to learn which behaviors and traits are red flags, what situations to avoid, and how to deter child molesters from targeting your child.
But remember, not all pedophiles are child molesters, and having thoughts about children is not the same as acting on them. Moreover, someone who is better at interacting with children than with adults is not necessarily a pedophile.
 1... Understand that any adult could be a child molester. There is no one physical characteristic, appearance, profession, or personality type that all child molesters share. Child molesters can be any sex or race, and their religious affiliations, occupations and hobbies are as diverse as anyone else's. A child molester may appear to be charming, loving, and completely good-natured while harboring predatory thoughts that he or she is adept at hiding. That means you should never dismiss the idea that someone could be a child molester out of hand.
2...Know that most child molesters are known to the children they abuse. Thirty percent of children who have been sexually abused were abused by a family member, and 60 percent were abused by an adult they knew who was not a family member. That means only 10 percent of children who are sexually abused were targeted by a total stranger.

• In most cases, the child molester turns out to be someone known to the child through school or another activity, such as a neighbor, teacher, coach, member of the clergy, music instructor, or babysitter.
• Family members like mothers, fathers, grandmothers, grandfathers, aunts, uncles, cousins, stepparents, and so on may also be sexual predators.

3....Know the common characteristics of a child molester. While anyone can turn out to be a child molester, the majority of child molesters are men, regardless of whether their victims are male or female. Many sexual predators have a history of abuse in their own past, either physical or sexual.

• Some also have mental illness, such as a mood or personality disorder.
• Heterosexual and homosexual men are equally likely to be child molesters. The idea that homosexual men are more likely to be child molesters is a complete myth.
• Female child molesters are more likely to abuse boys than girls.

4....Look for signs of grooming. The term "grooming" refers to the process the child molester undertakes to gain a child's trust, and sometimes the parents' trust as well. Over the course of months or even years, a child molester will increasingly become a trusted friend of the family, offering to babysit, take the child shopping or on trips, or spend time with the child in other ways. Many child molesters won't actually begin abusing a child until trust has been gained. Some may use others opinions around them to back up their trustworthiness in order to take children shopping.

• Child molesters look for children who are vulnerable to their tactics because they lack emotional support or aren't getting enough attention at home or will try to convince the parents their children are safe with them and that they are not going far. The child molester will attempt to step in as the "parent" figure for the child.
• Some child molesters prey on the children of single parents who aren't available to provide as much supervision or convince parents that they are nice enough people to supervise without them.
• A child molester will often use a range of games, tricks, activities and language to gain trust and/or deceive a child. These include: keeping of secrets (secrets are valuable to most kids, being seen as something "adult" and a source of power), sexually explicit games, fondling, kissing, touching, sexually suggestive behaviour, exposing a child to pornographic material, coercion, bribery, flattery, and—worst of all—affection and love. Be aware that these tactics are ultimately used to isolate and confuse your child.

5...Teach your child about staying safe online. Make sure your child knows that predators often pose as children or teenagers in order to lure children in online. Monitor your child's use of the internet, keeping rules in place to limit his or her "chat" time. Have regular discussions with your child about whom he or she is communicating with online.

• Be sure your child knows never to send pictures to a person he or she met online, or meet someone he or she is communicating with online.
• Know that children are often secretive about online behavior, especially when encouraged by others to keep secrets, so you'll need to be vigilant about staying involved in your child's online activity.

6...Make sure your child is feeling emotionally supported. 

• Child molesters will ask the children to keep it secret from their parents.
• Ensure your children understands that if someone has asked them to keep a secret from you that it isn't because the child will get into trouble but the person who has asked them to keep the secret knows what they are doing to them is wrong.
• Since children who don't get a lot of attention are especially vulnerable to predators, make sure you are spending a lot of time with your child and that he or she feels supported. Take the time to talk to your child every day and work toward building an open, trusting relationship.
• Express interest in all of your child's activities, including schoolwork, extracurricular, hobbies, and other interests.
• Let your child know that he or she can tell you anything, and that you're always willing to talk.

7....Teach your child to recognize inappropriate touching. Many parents use the "good touch, bad touch, secret touch" method. It involves teaching your child that there are some appropriate touches, like pats on the back or high fives; there are some unwelcome or "bad' touches, like hits or kicks; and there are also secret touches, which are touches that the child is told to keep a secret. Use this method or another one to teach your child that some touches aren't good, and when these happen, he or she should tell you immediately.

• Teach your child that no one is allowed to touch him or her in private areas. Many parents define private areas as those that would be covered by a bathing suit. Children also need to know an adult should not ask a child to touch anyone else's private areas or their own.
• Tell your child to say "no" and walk away if someone tries to touch him or her in a private area.
• Tell your child to come to you immediately if someone touches him or her the wrong way.

8....Recognize when something is out of sync with your child. If you notice your child is acting differently, pursue the issue to find out what is wrong. Regularly asking your child questions about his or her day, including asking whether any "good," "bad," or "secret" touches happened that day, will help open the lines of communication. Never dismiss it if your child tells you he or she was touched inappropriately or doesn't trust an adult. Trust your child first.

• Never dismiss a child's claims because the adult in question is a valued member of society or appears incapable of such things. That's exactly what a child molester wants.
• Remember that the most important thing you can do to protect your child is to pay attention to them. Assess their needs and desires, talk to them, and in essence, just be the best parent you possibly can. Bottom line to remember: If you don't pay attention to your child, someone else will.
• Remember that kids around 12, should already have gotten sex education, by their parents and told what everything means/is called. This will prevent a teacher/friend who is a pedophile, taking the lead and teaching whole other aspects. Make sure your child already knows everything it needs to know, before it gets taught very different meanings of words or gets told that kissing/licking the teachers cheek is totally fine.
• If the child is very young or younger than 14, it might not recognize that there's a difference between a grumpy teacher giving extra homework, or a strange acting teacher that wants them to kiss the cheek before leaving the room. Both are to them 'annoying.' So make sure whenever your child tells you vague stories about the teacher making sex-jokes or touching them, or being 'annoying' and asking all kinds of 'private stuff' that there might be something going on.
• As soon as the child mentions the teacher is acting strange or is asking private info/pictures/things about siblings, you have to tell your child how to react to this. Be realistic in the approach! Telling your kids to scream loudly when the teacher touches their shoulder, or hit his hand and yell whenever he'd touch their back, won't help. They won't hit a teacher, especially not when they're being groomed and told he's only trying to help. Make sure they will tell him clearly that it has told it's parents about what happened and they weren't happy with it. Or give the child an envelop, containing a letter that says; 'Stop touching my daughter/son' and your autograph. Make sure they give it to him when he is touching a bad part of their body and didn't stop when they said stop. (Make sure you think about this, it'll only have a positive effect if you're absolutely sure he'll be ignoring the boundaries and is actually going too far. One impulsive hand on the shoulder isn't.

Warnings

• Clarification of terms: A pedophile is one who is primarily attracted to prepubescent children (a common mistake in the media is to define a pedophile as anyone attracted to someone below the age of majority, extending the definition to those attracted to teens, which is incorrect). A hebephile is one who is primarily attracted to young to mid-teens, and a pedophile is someone attracted to mid-to-late adolescents. A child molester is of course anyone who molests a child, regardless of their sexual attractions or preferences.
• Remember, if a child looks isolated or upset, it will make them a very easy target for a predator. Ask about your child's school life, find out who their friends are. If they don't have any, work to change it. Strength in numbers is extremely important and in many cases can save their lives if you happen to not be present.
• Empathy should never be given to child molesters, only to the people affected by them.
• CSA(Child Sex Abuse) affects children's mental health well into adulthood with disorders such as but not limited to, PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder), BPD (Borderline Personality Disorder), and DID (Dissociative Identity Disorder).

Things You Need to Know About Child Molesters

An average child molester will offend 200–400 times before being caught, if ever. The vast majority of offenders do not get caught, and they have no criminal records. According to the FBI, only one out of ten cases of child sexual abuse is reported to law enforcement. Read More Here
