Parents, Protect Your Children from Abuse!

There's been a lot in the news lately about the abuse of children through brainwashing in the classroom. It's hard to believe what some of the pierced, purple and pink haired, tattooed teachers are doing to little innocent children. Believe it! I suspect many of them are possessed and the devil hates innocence above all things! We are way past the time for abuse to be treated by going to the superiors of the abusers or the abusers themselves. We've seen too often how badly that turns out.

Parents, if your child is molested or abused in any way, immediately involve the police! 

Children must be taught that if anyone, anyone at all (grandparents, siblings, cousins, aunts or uncles, teachers, coaches, celebrities, strangers -- even a parent) talks to them or touches them in ways that hurt them or makes them uncomfortable, especially genital touching, they immediately need to tell! Tell a parent or a responsible adult they can trust! Children should also be warned that they must immediately tell if anyone urges secrecy, unless it's about a surprise gift or a surprise party. 

And if someone shows them nude pictures or reads them the perverted stories found these days in diversity bookbags for kindergarteners, they need to immediately tell their parents! Many of these books are grooming tools for pedophiles. It's Perfectly Normal is perfectly poisonous to innocence. So are all the good touch/bad touch programs. They are grooming tools for pedophiles and perverts.

Children must know that if an adult offers drugs or alcohol or any illegal substance instructing them not to tell, they are grooming them for abuse. In an age-appropriate way, warn children and instruct them to come to you immediately. 

Kittens and puppies are often the bait used to snatch children. "Wouldn't you like to see my puppy? There are others in the car; come see." Children are particularly susceptible to this. In their innocence, they trust adults and are captivated by baby animals. 

If someone says, "Don't tell your parents!" it should be a trigger warning! Instruct children to immediately come to them, especially if the person threatens to hurt them or anyone else or tries to make them feel guilty! And if parents see a change in their children's behavior, their antennae should go up and they should start probing. Has the child experienced a trauma?

Some evil adults turn the age of innocence into the age of corruption.

Unfortunately, some parents abuse their children! Look at the diary of Joe Biden's daughter revealing that the groper-in-chief was engaging in bizarre behavior with her. A parent abusing children is a particularly difficult situation because those parents are not going to protect their children since they are the victimizers. In some cases, the non-abusing spouse refuses to believe or is even afraid to take action. In that case, one prays that other family members, like grandparents, will intervene.

But most parents love their children. Their first priority is to protect them from the increasing number of sexual predators, even in the peer group. But parents can't be with their children every minute. They need to be sensitive to their children's body language and any out-of-the-norm behavior. Any abuse should immediately be reported to police -- not to the pastor, the principal, the coach, or anyone else. Report it to the police! They have the duty and the resources to investigate crimes and that's what child abuse is -- a crime!

Preparing children without putting them in panic mode is important. Small doses of warning are like the small doses of germs in a vaccine. Going to the park or the playground is a perfect opportunity for a few warnings sentences. Visiting the animal shelter, another opportunity. Taking a walk and commenting on the beauties of nature can lead into a short discussion on how sad it is that everyone is not good and not everyone loves God and wants to do His will. Tell your children most people will not harm them, but some people hurt others on purpose, even children. 

I had a stranger expose himself to me when I was eleven and out bike riding alone in Falls Church, VA near Seven Corners. I was only a stone's throw from home and got off my bike to walk carefully around a blind curve. A convertible pulled up next to me and the young driver, probably in his 20's, motioned for me to come over. I thought he wanted directions. He was wearing a bathing suit and was bare on top. I won't repeat what he said to me as he exposed himself. I walked quickly away and went home. It was traumatic and I never told my parents until I was an adult. Why? Because I felt ashamed. This is typical of a child's reaction to abuse. Several years later when I was in high school, my sister and I were bike riding on Creek Rd. in Hartsville, PA. (My dad, a naval officer had been reassigned to the Naval Air Station in Willow Grove.) A man had stopped his car in the middle of the road, got out, dropped his drawers and was defecating in the street. We didn't realize what was happening until we were right on him. We passed and were kind of laughing about it until he pulled up beside us, slowed down, lowered his window, and started saying things to us. It was terrifying, and we just peddled faster and didn't look at him until he sped off. We told my dad who immediately called the police. We were too inexperienced to get his tag number. 

Those were the halcyon days of the late 50s and early 60s before Woodstock and the insanity of drugs, sex, and rock and roll. Even then, though, there were evil people who welcomed the opportunity to assault children. How much worse it is today!

We live in a culture that preys on children from the moment of conception. As Sr. Lucy of Fatima said, it is an era of "diabolical disorientation." The atrocities committed against the innocent are legion. We need to arm our children for spiritual combat by giving them weapons and making sure they know they have superiors in the fight to whom they can immediately turn for help. Parents, you are the generals. Prepare your children and lead them in the fight with courage and wisdom. Let the Holy Spirit be your constant companion and the Blessed Mother our twelve star general "dressed in battle array." We are never alone on the battlefield. We simply need to keep our eyes on the standard of Christ.

May Jesus Christ be praised!
