Abuse
We don't want to think about the possibility that our children might be abused. But the reality is that about a quarter of South African children have been or will be sexually abused before they turn 18. The statistics of physical abuse are unknown but one could speculate that they would be even more shocking.

Even though we wish to deny this reality, it is important to educate ourselves about the dangers of abuse. Knowledge is a powerful weapon - if you know the dangers and warning signs, you may be able to protect your child.
