(Ep 203) Can't Get It Back!

Child predators wear many faces. They are not only the creepy neighbor or leering street vulture. They are also the respected leader, esteemed clergy, youth group leader and praised honors student. So - since we cannot rule anyone out, we must employ appropriate safeguards, limit others access with them and be especially communicative with our young folk. This means telling them about appropriate and non-appropriate conversations, behaviors, touching and proximity. It involves, letting them know that they have permission to disobey in circumstances they feel are uncomfortable. It also includes teaching them not just about 'stranger danger' but also of the potential for hazardous acquaintances and being offered foods or beverages that can be laced. And just as important, we must assure them that we love them and accept them and that they can tell us anything, even the things that are hard to hear and even harder to say. It may also prove beneficial to advise them, that even if they are afraid to come to us, that they can find an ambassador they trust to divulge their confidences who can give them support and speak on their behalf. It is a must we do this for the preservation of our children’s peace and personal sovereignty. If you enjoy Nurah Speaks, please share the podcast with friends, family, and colleagues.
