Prevention of abuse

Most abuse victims wonder if there was something they could have done to prevent the abuse. Unfortunately for the child, it is usually too late once the warning signals are recognized. However, a number of red flags can alert adults and children and help prevent abuse. If you believe that a child is being abused, do not hesitate to contact your local authorities or speak to a lawyer who handles sexual abuse cases. At Kosnoff PLLC, we routinely handle cases of sexual abuse and are interested in working toward prevention.

>Some abuse can be prevented if warning signs are addressed early on. Child abuse prevention is possible by taking precautions and remaining aware and attentive to potential signs of abuse.

Considerations in child abuse prevention:

• Make sure that children are always supervised by more than one adult whom you can trust.
• Be attentive to abnormal attention paid to children by an adult.
• Listen to children and inquire if they behave strangely regarding a certain adult.

In many social organizations, there tends to be a lack of transparency in the oversight of authority figures. Whether your child is in the care of a teacher, a camp counselor, a religious group leader, or a Boy Scouts leader, the child is under the control of an adult who may or may not have been sufficiently screened for abusive tendencies. At Kosnoff PLLC we are experienced in identifying the potential warning signs and in taking action towards child abuse prevention.

We are dedicated to child abuse prevention as well as the prosecution of child sexual abusers. The safety of children and the prevention of abuse are our primary objectives.

While abuse is never the fault of the child, there are some precautions that parents and other adults can take to prevent the abuse of a child. If you suspect that a child is being abused, do not hesitate to contact your local authorities and an experienced child sexual abuse attorney.
