child is the only witness and in most cases they are then Mrs Still you don I have a hope of getting a conviction Parents are very often reluctant to broach the subject Mrs Still said but sexual abuse Is a very real threat Accord ing to the most recent Canadian statistics on sexual offences against children per cent of young females and 33 per cent of young males have been sexually abused and in per cent of the coses the perpetrator is to the child reason children are so vulnerable to sexual abuse Is that the socialization process teaches children to obey adult authority Haven we all Mrs Still asked at one lime or another left our children with a baby sitter with these parting words I want you to be good and do exactly as the babysitter says and I don want to hear about any problems

children learn selfdefence and to kick up a fuss They are taught that their body is their own and if someone is touch ing them in a way that makes them table they have the right to say no As well through role playing potentially dangerous situations are identified Parents are expected to reinforce what the children have learned at home Applications for the workshops arc avail able at the
