Streefproof childeren, Canadian groups advise New guidelines release to prevent sexual abuse u United Press International The rules to streetproof your chil dren as drawn up by two Canadian organizations are also a good idea for U.S. children, says an American child psychiatrist. chil- •Whenever possible, have dren walk in pairs or groups. •Children should always travel the same route home. •Use a secret family code. Chil dren should never go with anyone, not even a close family friend, unless The guidelines were formulated by Health and Welfare Canada and Citizens Concerned Against Crime, Ontario. Dr. Sandra Kaplan, chief of child and adolescent psychiatry. North Shore Hospital, Manhasset, N.Y., is an expert in child neglect and abuse, including the sexual tampering of tots and toddlers by strangers or rel atives. “I can agree with those rules,” Dr. Kaplan said when she was read the guidelines that are being circulated and posted in Canada to counter sexual abuse of children. The “streetprooflng'’ ad vice begins by telling par ents that there is no such thing as telling a child too in uch; “knowledge doesn't stimulate inappro priate behavior — igno rance does. ” warmer by indicating that t steps also have crossed the sittf Suggest that the child cross again, and explain that if the steps cross the street for a s< time, then the situation is “hot," Ask for ways to “cool’’ dow situation. You might help withidri such as going into a lighted % going into a neighbor's hoist looking quickly for a Block Patt? or, because it is a “hot" situaii?. they might yell “fire” wh bring a quicker response tlj “help." “ •Discuss with your child the| ference between fact andfancy,!* and fiction, so that they underae the nature of taking anoath.(T| may l>e necessary for a court appes ance). Canadian authorities estimate 10 f iercent of families will be con- ronted by sexual abuse and that one out of every three females will be sexually molested before age 18. One of every 10 boys will be mo lested before he reaches 18. they are able to give the child the code. Once the code has been used, it should be changed. •Don’t allow your young child to go to a public restroom alone. “More than 85 percent of abusers are known to the victim,” the Ca nadian National Clearinghouse on Family Violence says. Dr. Kaplan said she has no trouble accepting those statistics. Most parents want to educate their children about sexual abuse but don’t know how, she said. The “streetproofing” advice be gins by telling parents that there is no such thing as telling a child too much; “knowledge doesn’t stimulate inappropriate bahavior — ignorance does.” It continues: “Parents who talk openly with their children will be askable par ents, and children will feel free to bring their worries and concerns to them in the future.” •Check your babysitters’ creden tials thoroughly. • If you suspect that an abuseb taken place: Encourage the child total it. Establish in the child's mi he or she is not to blame. Do not correct the child’s st© listen to the original words, es those that are babyish or fa® words. •Tell your child it is not rude to ignore an adult who is asking direc tions in the street. Another adult could be asked for more accurate di rections. Do not suggest or modifywhatik child is trying to say. Your ids might confuse the truth. •Tackle the subject of sexual abuse prevention with the same hon est, matter-of-fact manner you would attach to road safety. Remem ber, the only time a child will ask you about sexual abuse is after it has happened. Open the subject and your child will remember that you are open to questions. Do not show horror or anp however, if caught by surprist unable to control your emotions,ii clear that your anger is meanili’ the offender, not the child. •When you are aware of an in dent of sexual abuse, call the pdc or child welfare authorities imniK ately. Be sure a social worker,ap lice officer and someone supp; to the child is present when me dence is given. The streetproofing rules: •An unattended child is a child at risk. Arrange with your child where to wait if you are delayed, especially in the darker winter evenings. Sug gest a well-lighted store or inside an arena or school. • Introduce your child to the “hot and cold” game. Describe a situation which is “cool” — “imagine you are walking home from a f riend’s house ... then make it tepid — you hear footsteps and think someone is fol lowing you.” Ask the child to make the situa tion “cool” again and suggest that it would be appropriate to cross the street. Now make the situation To which Dr. Kaplan adds other guideline: •Take the child to the cian for an examination, for trtt ment and to establish theextenu abuse.
