Recently, with the widespread use of social media, we often hear news of child abuse that has been going on for a long time. Pedophilia or pedophilia is a disorder that causes an adult to find pre-adolescent children or people who have just entered puberty sexually attractive and to have sexual tendencies towards children.
The harasser is usually someone from the child's close circle. Those people; These may be the child's family, relatives and neighbors, or they may be professionals who may be close to the child, such as a bus driver, teacher or caregiver. After the abuse incident, pedophilic people generally deny this situation and produce defense mechanisms for themselves. They may belittle the situation (as if it only happened once) or attack people helping the child.
Pedophilia may have many causes. It may depend on both biological and environmental factors. People with this disorder are likely to have been abused in their childhood. Since they lack the ability to control this situation when they are children, they want to become masters by making children relive traumas by sexually assaulting them. The fact that they have experienced a complete role change elevates them to a higher level and prevents them from being victimized.
Like many diseases or disorders, pedophilia does not have a complete cure. However, people with this disorder can receive support to control their impulses and behaviors. A combination of medication and psychotherapy support can help individuals.
To protect their children from pedophilic people, families should:
-
First of all, they need to have information about pedophilia. It should be stated that families will love and believe their children in all situations
-
Since pedophilic individuals can more easily reach the people they harassed through social media, attention should be paid to the posts we make.
-
How children use social media should be controlled (very careful attention should be paid to the games they play)
-
Children should be taught good and bad touches from an early age, so that they can distinguish their own private areas and have knowledge. make sure they are should be remembered,
-
The child's behavior and circle of friends should be observed without creating a feeling of insecurity in the child.
-
You will listen and support them in every situation, no matter what. They need to be confident and trust you.
If you are worried about something, you should communicate with the child and get professional expert support.
