How Do Molesters Operate?
Molesters know how to get near children by being friendly or giving them things they like (toys, candy or money). They are clever at manipulating children to get what they want. A molester often plays with the child when other adults are not around and will encourage activities for just the two of them. The molester may tell the child that a parent or pet will be killed if the secret sexual activity is reported. If the child does not feel safe to talk about such experiences with a trusted adult, the molester remains in control. Teach your children that they can talk to you about any problem or worry they may have.
