How can you tell if your child has been targeted by a pedophile?
Here's a look at some of the signs to watch for that your son or daughter may have been attacked:
Look for changes in behaviour, including mood swings, unexplained fear, withdrawal and excessive crying, aggression or reverting to more babyish antics.
Watch for inappropriate sexual activity or a sudden interest in sex where none existed before.
New habits emerge like bedwetting or problems sleeping.
If problems at school suddenly appear out of nowhere, inquire about the source.
Be wary if your child suddenly expresses fear of going to certain places or meeting certain people that he or she never expressed before.
Look for telltale signs on their body, including unexplained bruises or sores or other marks that have appeared without warning or any apparent cause.
Remember to tell your child they can always confide in you about anything. When they do, be supportive and always tell them you believe them.
