I think that is my point as well overall. Rape is a bad word and holds very violent and disgusting images in society as a whole... but for children to be aware about rape factually, that your neighbour, uncle, dad, aunty, etc... are not showing you love by performing these sexual acts to you or with you, is information they need to know so that later in life it doesn't come back on them when they realize they were allowed to say no or tell someone what was happening.
Rape is dark yes, but it also happens to children through manipulation because they don't know it is dark. We don't need to scare them, we need to give them a voice and the power to say no to it.
