Description

TRIGGER WARNING**
THIS EPISODE INCLUDES CONTENT RELATED TO SEXUAL VIOLENCE THAT SOME LISTENERS MAY FIND DISTURBING

In this episode, I address the deeply concerning issue of sexual abuse in children from birth to age three, highlighting signs, symptoms, and prevention strategies. It focuses on behavioral, physical, and developmental indicators that may signal abuse when children are too young to communicate what is happening to them. The episode also explores risk factors, common warning signs, and why abuse at this age can be particularly difficult to detect. Additionally, guidance is provided on what to do if you suspect abuse, how to respond appropriately, and prevention strategies caregivers and professionals can use to help protect young children.

This episode is presented for educational and awareness purposes only. Every effort has been made to protect the privacy and dignity of both victims and offenders. No identifying information is shared, and all content is discussed with sensitivity, responsibility, and respect for those affected.

Thank you for listening. Stay safe and stay aware❤️
