Preventive steps to child sexual abuse
First and foremost, ensure that your child is comfortable in the space they are in. If they seem uncomfortable or act differently around an adult, even if it is a trusted friend or member of the family, don't brush it aside as a temper tantrum. At the same time, pay attention to any sudden changes in their behavior - becoming moody or withdrawn, loss of appetite, and so on. These could all be signs of sexual abuse.
