Breaking The Code Of Silence #1

Joanna Narrates...
I was sleeping in our parlour when he walked in and noticed no one was close by.
I could recall he was a family friend who often stopped by to say hi!
My siblings and I called him uncle. We trusted and loved him because each time he comes around, he played with us  and often bought gifts for us, we never knew  his trousers leaked.
I was about 6 years old, innocent and tender, I never knew someone would want to do that to me; he pulled up my gown, went on to panties and sought for a way to force his fingers through my genitals.
Mum and dad saw him as a faithful brother, an innocent family friend but how would I explain to them that in their absence, he tried to abuse me?

-If Joanna's parent or guardian ensured their home was under close watch such that no stranger or visitor could step in without someone being aware.
-If Joanna and her siblings were taught not to trust strangers
-If Joanna was taught to be more aware of her sexuality
-If Joanna was trained so she could freely express herself and her experiences to her parents.
Do you not think it would have gone a long way to avoid the scene and break the silence?

Let's learn to avoid the scene.
-Take full responsibility over the safety of your child per time.
-Talk to your children about their sexuality.
-Strive to be your child's best friend.
