Dear
Parent/Guardian,
This is a letter that is not like any you
have ever received or I have ever written. My subject is not pleasant, but it
is serious.
My subject is Child Sexual Abuse.
If you have a child between the ages of 3
to 18 years of age; If you leave your child in the care of relatives,
neighbours, domestic servants, drivers and other care givers so that you can
focus on your 9 to 5 job; If you live in Nigeria; then this letter may be one
of the most important letters you will ever read in your life! Ask yourself:
- Do you really
know the people in daily contact with your loved little ones?
- Do you know
the child minders at the local day care center?
- Do you know
the baby-sitter you employ?
- Do you know
who your children hang out with in or after school?
- For single mothers
with young children, how about that charming new 'daddy' to your children?
There is actually an alarming increase of the
number of minors abused each year. In fact, every child, no matter how young,
is vulnerable to child sexual abuse. Sexual abuse of children has become a global pandemic. A United Nations
Report shows that in recent years over 150 million girls and 73 million boys
under the ages of 18 are sexually abused every year.
This report gives thinking parents a
course for concern. It should engender a responsibility for protecting children
in every parent. Until now, there has been one major thing parents ‘do’ to deal with this
dreadful issue of child sexual abuse (CSA): They can pray or hope that their child will not be molested or raped or
sexually abused.
Unfortunately,
‘Hope’ is not a strategy! You will need to fortify your child with systems that
can protect him.
Most sincerely, I urge you to read my
letter carefully. It describes a plan that helps protect you against the danger
of child sexual abuse. It helps to protect you against having the future of
your precious one marred or destroyed by an ‘incident’ that could have been
avoided if only you the parents had prepared him or her!
And yet the cost of this plan of
protecting your child from the horrifying experience of child sexual abuse is
low.
Unfortunately,
ANY child is at risk of sexual abuse.
Hoping... denying.... pretending.... that this can't happen to your
child is not lowering your child's risk of being sexually abused, and it does
not prepare them to get help quickly and effectively if the worst does happen.
The reality of
Child Sexual Abuse is a terrifying concept - but it is something that every
parent needs to face because knowledge is power. The fact is that
nearly every incident of sexual abuse is preventable, with simple steps that
parents can take. Though parenting is the toughest job out there, it is also
the area where one gets the least expertise.
What makes it
particularly challenging is the fact that society looks forward to entrusting
every child's safety and protection to the parents. Thus, parents should know
first-hand how to deal with any kind of child problems and issues, including
sexual abuse. This plan of protecting your loved one is
embodied in an e-book, ‘Protect Your Child
from Sexual Abuse in Nigeria’. that will show you:
