Statistics show that children are far more at risk of sexual grooming and abuse from adults already in their family or circle of friends.
Stranger Danger, while done to death for years, never prepares a child for the well known and loved adult in their close family circle who takes advantage of them. How does one tell children that those who love them most may be the dangerous adults in their lives!
There are countless examples of fathers, brothers, uncles, school masters, doctors, teachers, hostel staff, carers, staff in nursery and play school etc. who have been responsible for the greatest threat to young children.
I don't know the solution to this terrible problem other than having our children cared for by robots.
