Most children are molested or worse by family members or family friends. Violence against children has been on the rise all along............... Yes, according to United Nations reports, overall violence against children has reached unprecedented levels globally, driven by sharp surges in armed conflict and digital exploitation. Up to 1 billion children experience physical, sexual, or emotional violence annually. Armed Conflict and Crisis Zones Surging violations: Verified grave violations against children in war zones—such as killing, maiming, and recruitment—have spiked significantly, reaching record highs. Displacement: Over 500 million children now live in active conflict areas worldwide. Online and Digital Threats Cyber exploitation: The expansion of digital technology has accelerated online grooming, extortion, and the rapid spread of abuse material. [1, 2] AI generation: Hotlines and watch foundations report exponential increases in artificial intelligence-generated child sexual abuse material used to blackmail and groom minors. Domestic and Everyday Abuse Widespread mistreatment: Billions of children continue to face regular violent discipline, psychological aggression at home, or severe bullying in schools. Human trafficking enlists hundreds of children yearly, with a large percentage in Thailand alone, even though they're trying to curb it, but when officials are involved, it's harder to control. Like I mentioned, nude areas aren't the problem. Letting others see a naked person intentionally outside of these areas is exhibitionism. Not necessary and illegal, more so if it's intentional and repeatedly. Children are kidnapped daily all over the world, a lot by traffickers and some by single strangers. Yes, this is why a child needs to learn not to trust anyone they don't really know, to be aware of the possible dangers so they don't let themselves get into a situation that can be their last. None of my children have become victims of anyone besides a couple of boyfriends. I teach my children about touch, bad or good, along with never allowing themselves to be alone with anyone they don't already know well, be with friends when possible, learn self defense, and how to use extreme violent prejudice if someone tries to grab you. Rural areas are usually safer, but if you look at the registry of sexual predators, which is available in most developed areas, you'll see just how close they live. In my subdivision alone outside San Antonio Texas, there was three, along with 10 more within a 5 mile radius. One suspect lived down our block, someone who always wanted to be around teen girls, at 30+, and everyone told their kids to be aware and not be alone with him, so nothing happened. Better safe than sorry. better they be the victim than our children.
