I quite agree with you that child abuse is very rampant in our society. And this is the area the govt. is expected to do something, I mean stiff penalty. Instead the executors are busy amassing ill gotten wealth. Even our women are not safe

You really think it's only female kids that can be molested? Hear this, a male friend of mine was molseted by their house girl from primary 1 till he was in JSS3. Mom was hardly around. He initially didn't know what it was about but when he got to junior secondary and opened up to his peers they introduced him to porn magazines and advised him on how to take on the maid when next she approached him.

What was the effect? Warped mentality. Right now he wants to reprogramme his mind but it's hard. Bad enough we don't have psychologists and accessible counsellors.

Both boys and girls need protection.

Where do you go when you're by yourself ?
Who comes along when you cry for help ?

I know The Fountain of Life Churrch Ilupeju sells it, I'm not sure if Laterna (VI) sells it, but please make enquiries from The Fountain of Life church (Pastor Taiwo Odukoya's church).

I'm going to get my own copy, even though I don't have kids yet and gift one to a friend's 2 year old daughter and another's 4 year son. We cannot keep pretending all is well in our society, it's madness to do so, when we are continually surrounded by evidence showing we have so much wrong with us.

Most people who target kids are people who are around them. Remember, it is rarely a stranger on the road that will attack your child, it will most likely be his classmate, her teacher, his nanny, your neighbour or even worse, your relative.

And yes, boys do get abused too. A friend of my sister's narrated how his parents n boy decided to molest him for an entire term, and how he got so desperate to not return back to the school, he drank either Bleach or some other household chemical.

God Bless You..OP. One of the most reasonable post I've seen on Nairaland, if not the best. We all need to join hands to fight this, really..not campaigning for people that don't know you and killing one anoda...

I have a friend whose bros was abused by their cousin.they really hate her. His sis was abused by their driver.. God help them. He himself was abused by guys in sec skul. When you see some guys fighting the gay tendency..you have no idea.

I myself do NOT allow my lil sis to go out to anybody who has a small boy or maid..I MUST protect any young child. Y'all should do so too...relatives or not.

And when I say 'a friend', yes I mean me.

This is cool, the book idea is effective too

but Op from 1-10, you make it seem as if it doesnt happen at all to lil boys. Only your nephew as example of the points you tried to pass across.

Yeah i know, it happens more to the girls than the boys, BUT.........

(jots a thing or two)

I believe it can be pushed for. Yes it can be taught.
