Vulnerability
Vulnerability to harm and assault is a common weakness we all have because we are human, whether if we are a child or adult. Every one of us is vulnerable.
All of us are vulnerable to any assaults and onslaughts of any forms and sorts of debilitating and devastating diseases, natural calamities, man-made disasters, and frauds; whether we are adults or children. Every vulnerable adults and vulnerable children are victimized through ignorance, kindness, and false promises. These are the most used baits to exploit and deceive vulnerable individuals like you because no one is spared unless you are the assaulter.
However, the most common victim of exploitation and deception are children. Yes, because children are innocent or without malice and this innocence breeds gullibility or the capacity to be deceived. And since children are always the main target of assault, like sexual harassment, we must protect our children or you must protect your children from imminent vulnerable attacks from an assaulter, always. Teaching children taboos in order to protect them from harm while you are not around with them will not and is not an assurance of child safety when you are not with them; because as we all know children are indeed to be stubborn and undisciplined. This is so, because children are children; thus there are some institution and non-profit organization that fosters child protection. Children cannot always protect themselves because not only they are innocent but also weak physically compare to adults, unless the vulnerable adult is physically infirm, like a lame man or whatever physical infirmities an adult have.
Not only a physically infirm adult is vulnerable to an assault and onslaught but also a mentally infirm adult is a plausible target for exploitation. But despite an adult is not either physically or mentally infirm, such a physically and mentally healthy person or adult could also be a probable victim for fraud and scams and or from unpremeditated onslaughts of natural calamities and man-made disasters or accidents.
Natural calamities and accidents are the two common onslaughts that both children and adult could not abort or by at least combat its forthcoming. Preparedness and education regarding it, are the only ways to avoid to become a vulnerable victim of these form of assault.
Vulnerability to any assaults is a clear message to us that we should always guard and protect ourselves always from any assaults or harm that will come along our way. And if we adults are susceptible to impending and unsuspecting assaults, what more is our children who can’t always protect themselves? Thus, Child safety is an obligation of every parent and those who have custody of children that one should not neglect of. Child protection is one’s also protection because if one child is assaulted, you are the one also that will be affected if that assaulted child is under your care or custody or if you are the parent of that assaulted child. A parent is the most affected one if they saw their beloved child or children experience assaults or harm, is not it? A parent is the one who is virtually assaulted most if their children have been assaulted or harm.

Introduction
You are fortunate that your own children is not like the other children who are vulnerable to child abuse like physical abuse, emotional and sexual abuse, if your children is under you own security blanket. However, if though within your care your child is for sure safe but what about when you are not around to protect him or her? Can you trust anyone to take care your child or children when you are not around?
The Prevalent Type of Child Abuse
With our perilous times, even to a priest (which perceived to be a person who does always good and serving god) you cannot entrust you child in fear of sexual abuse called pedophilia perpetrated especially by the Roman Catholic Priests which is so prevalent today. The sexual abuse done by the Roman Catholic priests were left untreated and the sexually abused children were left the scar or trauma until they have grown up. This kind of child abuse should be reported immediately to the authorities who seek the welfare and protection of vulnerable children. So how can you protect your children or protect our children from the prevalent sexual abuse like this one?
Of course, you cannot ban your child or children from meeting or greeting anyone in the streets or in your community lest your child or children will become social phobic. So what is the best way how to protect your child from vulnerable abuse?
In case of sexual abuse, a sexual abuser tends to win first the trust and confidence of your children upon them and then eventually sexually abuse them or molest them. The first thing you should do to protect your children from sexual abuse, according to child expert is to educate your children in the early age about sexual abuse with a proper language or education in appropriate to their age. Like for example, about “touch”. Differentiate and demonstrate to them the “good touch” and “bad touch”, and as well as the “secret touch”. With this kind of education, your child will report to you about any persons who touch them and what kind of touch they do to them. Good Touch according to Child expert is hugging, patting on your shoulder, and kiss on cheeks (however, for me or in my opinion, these also are dangerous for sexual abusers tend to be doing these tactics), while the Bad touch is hitting and pushing you, and the similar sort. The Secret touch is if someone wants to touch you and says that it must be kept secret that they touch you.
To educate your children about the secret parts that would not be touch, expert says that you should used the “bathing suit” technique to demonstrate to your vulnerable children what is the private parts that should not be touch and the public parts that can be casual touch.
Child expert also says that make this a daily education to your children even as they grow old and make it a family conversation, so that you can ask your children after schooling what kind of touch they have today or at school.
Daily communication and parental trust is your best tool to protect your children from vulnerable abuse
