Chris Brown talks about sex: Reducing the Risk of Child Offender Victimization
By: Denise Young, ED.S
Think about this if a girl at 14 or 15
abused him then she was abused too and the cycle keeps going. Lord, we as
adults and parents need to protect our kids better. Now I know that we cannot
be there at all times but we really need to protect our kids better. Here is
what Chris said about his experience “Brown
explained that it was the porn he watched with his cousins that prepared him to
go all the way. "By that point, we were already kind of like hot
to trot, you know what I'm saying?" he said. "Like, girls,
we weren't afraid to talk to them; I wasn't afraid. So, at 8, being
able to do it, it kind of preps you for the long run, so you can be a beast at
it. You can be the best at it."
Here is another comment by Chris:
“Though Brown, 24, wouldn't say how
many women he's slept with since, he teased that the number is quite high.
"But you know how Prince had a lot of girls back in the day? Prince was,
like, the guy. I'm just that today," he said. "But most women won't
have any complaints if they've been with me. They can't really complain. It's
all good."
Here
is some fast tips to protect your children from child predators .
Reducing the
Risk of Child Offender Victimization
While nothing a caregiver does will absolutely prevent
sexual
abuse, there are steps you can take to reduce the risk of child
offender victimization. Consider these steps to protect someone you love from
child predators:1
· Be
watchful – always be on the lookout for situations or
behaviors that seem dangerous or suspicious. Always know where your child is.
· Monitor
online activities – know what you child does online to prevent access
by online child predators.
· Check
policies – check child protection policies at organizations
that interact with your child. For example, what is the policy on screening the
people that coach soccer? Does the organization check the sex offender
registry?
· Be
with the child – accompany the child to public places like
washrooms, stores and activities.
· Communicate –
be sure the child understands that he (or she) can tell you anything, even if
he is afraid.
· Rehearse –
use "what if" scenarios to be sure a child knows what to do if a
questionable situation arises. For example, "what would you do if you
played a game with an adult that made you feel uncomfortable?" or,
"what would you do if someone touched your private parts?"
· Teach
assertiveness – teach a child how to stand up to a child in an
assertive manner. Make sure a child understands that being a good child doesn't
mean just "blind obedience" to whatever any adult says.
· Teach
accurate names – label the body parts using the correct terms and
use accurate names for sex acts as developmentally appropriate. Make sure the
child knows that it's not OK for someone to touch his private parts.
· Model
appropriate behavior – show a child what a healthy relationship between an
adult and child should look like. Adults are not interested in child
companionship and friendship. Children are friends with other children and
adults are friends with adults.
Most
people that have been touched and had sex at early age think that they have not
been abused they think is cool especially for boys. I do not fault Chris Brown
he thought it was ok by his comments, but it is not ok. I really wish and pray
that more adults and parents will communicate and talk to their kids about what
to look for when someone may abused them in sexually way. This article is conversation piece to get more
people to talk about sexual abuse so we can decrease this negative behavior. If
you need to talk to anyone about your abuse please contact me or call 1.800.656.HOPE.
