In Canada we see pedophiles as monsters and sick people that need to be kept away from our children. Child abuse is not a fun topic to discuss but it must be addressed. Statistics say that children tell 10 adults on average about abuse before someone even believes them. Children are smarter than we perceive them to be and they know when something is wrong. It is crucial that you listen to their cry for help if they come to you. There are now many useful resources that you can go to when dealing with a matter of child abuse.
This is a crime of rates are increasing so please listen to your children when they tell you something is wrong. A most recent Stats Canada crime report found that child porn has increased to 36% in one year,
and all aggravated sexual assaults have increased by 56%. In Ontario alone, 10,000
cases have been investigated since 2006 and more than 3,600 charges have been
laid against 1,219 people for internet sex crimes.
There are now ways of seeing convicted offenders in your area with pictures identifying who they are. In my opinion this acts as a sense of security and gives parents peace of mind.
