How can I prevent abuse?
Parents, guardians and other primary carers know that they cannot always be with the person they take care of at any moment, regardless of whether this person is a child or an adult who needs care. At some point during the average weekly routine, responsibility for individual care will be temporarily transferred to a teacher, a healthcare professional or other trusted adult. Whether a half -hour medical examination or sleeping in a friend's house this time, there are some preventive measures that carers can take to try to prevent abuse if they are not present. These measures include the education of a child or an adult about what is abuse and what to do if this happens, know the signs of abuse and exploring other carers in charge of child or adult care. And teachers seize children with knowledge. In addition to teaching children about what sexual abuse is, carers should also encourage children to confide in trusted adultD They suspect that they could become a victim of abuse. Other preventive measures to prevent abuse include the encouragement of children to not maintain secrets with other adults, and encourage them to immediately communicate other trusted adults if they are endangered or forced to maintain secrets.
In addition to bruises and other visible features, abuse can also manifest itself in the form of sudden changes in behavior. The abused person could suddenly become moody, tightened and desperate, or could start acting or becoming violent. An abused person can also start taking drugs or alcohol, experience a decline in their grades at school or show a loss of interest in activities that have previously been not afraid of happy. If the caregiver notices any of these characters in a loved one, he has a better chance of being able to intervene and prevent abuse in escalation.
Another important step that can beIt is primary caregivers to take advantage of to help prevent abuse, to get acquainted with other people who are entrusted with the care of their loved ones. To ask their loved ones for their routine and with whom they spent time during the day, can give carers an idea of other authority characters in their loved ones. Finally, it is important for carers to trust their instincts, including all red flags that can be based on the behavior of people who have authority when there are vulnerable to abuse.
