The kids that get abused are those least likely to say anything or be believed. That applies to all kinds of abuse.

The target will be the kid who is 'mousy' and sadly don't forget boys they can be targeted too.

Your children's best defence is YOU, and the confidence they have in telling you anything.

So, yes, it's your connection and openness with your children that counts and their confidence that you will listen.
