Safe to 16: A course to protect children against sexual offenders

It is conservatively estimated that 1 in 5 girls and 1 in 20 boys will lose their innocence – without their consent – before they turn 18. 

At some point in their lives they will ask why their parents didn’t warn them about the dangers.

The Problem

Children have no idea of what sexual behaviour looks like – they can either be trained appropriately, or exposed to being groomed.

Child sex offenders groom children to become participants so they can act out their sordid sexual fantasies.

At that moment in time, the child’s innocence is stolen – forever. They are manipulated, intimidated, or dominated into silence.

The Background

Child sex offending has been occurring for generations.

Child sex offenders have multiplied because of non-disclosure by children. Offenders believe that they can get away with the criminal offending.

Human rights lawyer Sonja Cooper says that it takes on average 22 years for victims of sexual abuse to come forward.

Help Auckland believe that:

For every 100 offences, only 10 are reported to police.

Only 3 of the reported cases will get to a prosecution.

Only 1 of the prosecutions will end in a conviction.

I've known these lovely people for over 7 years now - as their accountant and later friend. As a mother of 4 children this course was an eye-opener. A simple 'must-do' training for all parents and supervising adults.

The course content and quizzes are really well done! I found it easy to remember the 4 steps - and how to communicate with children about their 'swimsuit' areas. So important to bring this conversation out into the light.
