Our SONG TO CHEW this week, is STRANGERS, from my 1992 child abuse prevention concert with KidPower and actor John Ritter. Before people turn 18, one out of four of us will have been sexually abused. Our feelings are like an early warning system. If we feel uncomfortable about a situation, we need to listen to that little voice and get to safety! Adult social interactions can be very confusing for kids. 85% per cent of the time, the abuse comes from someone who we know and trust. Less often, it's a 'stranger', who is 'anyone we don’t know'; a man, woman, boy or girl. If a child is 8 years old or under, and on their own, they should never talk to strangers, except in emergencies. Kids over 8 years old, can talk to strangers, but they must keep a safe distance, and not give any personal information. That's because kids under 8 can easily get distracted from the safety rules when they talk to someone.
