One of the most beautiful gifts that the world which has more or less turned ugly, has are children. The childless homes or families can well assert that. As grown up and mature beings on the earth what have we exactly done to treasure this form of blessing,most will answer---- a lot , we have taught them values which make them proper human beings,education(basically formal), to groom them up for the future,loads of love, simply because who wouldn't love a child and of course provide for their material well being.None of us is unaware that the world is full of abusers that can go to the extent of making innocent children their victims. The term is usually known as child molestation and it has become a usual phenomenon indeed. The cases which involve a well known name are brought into focus by the media, but the actual number of such abuse is alarmingly higher. It seems you can't trust anybody with your children. In fact most of the molesters are either acquaintances or close relatives. This kind of evil is present in almost the whole of the world, irrespective of the development rate of the country.However,the matter of worry here is that sometimes the child is too young to understand that it has been molested. There should be some way to equip our children with education about what kind of behaviour molestation exactly is.What I put forward as a topic of discussion is what should be the correct age and manner that children are introduced to education dealing with such a sensitive issue? We can't even afford to wait till the child attains the stage of adolescence for by that time it might already have fallen prey to inhuman intentions nor can it be begun so early that the child fails to grasp the very essence of whatever is being told to it, or worse for everyone the child might have faced the trauma and not willing to speak because of the fear of that monstrous person. Whatever the case the importance of educating the child about molestation does not reduce and has to be delivered to save it from encroaching hands that ruin their childhood.Please share your views regarding this issue and back it up with sound reasons.
