RE: Psychology Addict # 66 | Paedophilia.
You've raised a very nice topic Abbey. A few months ago, I saw a viral video of a nanny sexually abusing a toddler. I mean, this is so sad.
The issue of paedophilia is something that needs to be treated with swift action. You won't believe that there are some cultures that still support child marriage. So sad.
I used to think that underage sexual abuses were gender specific until I stumbled on a poll on Twitter where so many men owned up that, at a point in their lives while growing up, they were sexually abused by even close relatives; aunties et all.
Any case of paedophilia should not be taken lightly because many of the kids that go through this abuse grow up with the trauma still reverberating within them. This is why parents and guardians should be careful of who their kids hang out with and who they leave their kids with.
Thanks for sharing this awesome piece, Abbey. Much love from Nigeria.
My goodness Sammi! Who posts this sort of video?
Now, I am concerned about that child AND the nanny. How young was she? A teenager, or an older lady? I'm hoping that the abuse did not happen regularly, and that that child has a loving, caring family environment from which he/she can still draw a sense of care, love and safety :(
Parents so badly need to be careful of who they leave their children with. Oh God!
I am glad you found this topic to be an important one to be discussed here Sammi. Thank you for providing further evidence to some of the information that I wrote here. It goes to show how real and widespread this problem is!
Much love to you my dear :*
Take care over there <3 :)
