The internet itself can increase a childs vulnerbility eg , chat rooms, texts, mobile phones, cyber bullying, and children can be left mentally vulnerable and upset.
Alcohol – children don’t realise that this can be dangerous and lead them into risky situations.
Drugs – children may get involved in drugs possible signs are changes in appearance, interests, eating, sleeping, moods and openness
we need to provide children with the information on these topics to enable them to protect themselves againt abuse, we need to build their confidence so they can say no and say why.
Adults who are involved in abuse may say things like “its our secret” or even threaten to hurt family members if the child tells, a child should be told to always tell the truth and no harm will come to them, children should be aware they do not always have to do as adults tell them they need to say no.
