WARNING SIGNS OF A CHILD PREDATOR

Over the years, technology has transcended. The Internet has not only become a vast information system and social network but also a very dangerous vice which people now use to hash out their diabolical plans, creating an unpleasant threat that is taunting our society and making it unsafe for our children. Ignoring the safety of your child in the face of adversity is the last thing you want to do. With the prevailing rate of sexual predatory attacks on young teenage girls and boys in our society, it now becomes an issue of grave concern that each and every one of us must work together to eradicate this issue that is bedevilling our society and threatening the well-being and safety of our children.

Here are some of the most common warning signs that can alert your senses to a child predator.

 Someone who may be overly nice, kind, and friendly;

 Someone who uses clever means to gain access to and cross boundaries with children;


 Someone who is overly attentive to your child. Paedophiles have radar for kids who come from broken homes or whose needs are not getting met. (Paedophiles gain a child’s trust by giving the attention he or she craves.);

 Child predators often work in a position that allows them access to children. They can be teachers, coaches, scout leaders, church personnel etc;


 They are usually loners and have an inability to get their needs met from adult relationships;

 They may have families of their own who are unaware of their activities;


Paedophiles will do everything in their power to earn your trust, so you will assume that your child is safe in their care. Other warning signs are;

 Someone who is uncharacteristically quiet. Most paedophiles are men. It is estimated that only four percent of paedophiles are women. Don’t let this prevent you from looking more closely at a woman with whom your child has reported feeling unsafe;

 Someone who had a troubled childhood;


 Someone who has a need for power and control over every single situation;

 Someone who has a lack of empathy for anything;


 Someone who has deviant sexual behaviour and attitudes;

 Someone always playing Mr. Nice Guy etc

As a cautionary tale, always guide and protect your child at all times. Don’t worry about hurting the feelings of adults. The safety of children should be your first priority. If you have suspicions about an adult who has access to your child, do not hesitate to do a background check to find out instantly if this person has a criminal history. You can do this easily and anonymously, thereby protecting the lives of children and securing your peace of mind.
