The Word of GOD says, “…“Do not touch My anointed ones, And do My prophets no harm.” 1Chr. 16:22 You don’t know who GODs anointed ones are and who his prophets are; your child could be GODs anointed or GODs prophet. Just something to think about!
It’s human nature to want to be affectionate towards each other to express ourselves in a loving way. Then there are those who want to pervert a good thing. Good touching and bad touching is what we should make sure we discuss with our children, over the dinner table, on the drive home from school, or maybe right before bed. Knowledge is power and the more we know the more we can use that knowledge to help protect ourselves and our loved ones. Below is a list of good touches and bad touches:
Good Touches
ü Hugs
ü Gentle tickling
ü Shaking hands
ü Kisses from mom and dad at bedtime and for hellos and good-byes
ü Pats on the back or head when someone does a good job
ü A friend’s arm across someone’s shoulder
Bad Touches
´ Hugs that are too tight
´ Tickling that won’t stop
´ Hitting
´ Kisses from someone a person doesn’t like or doesn’t feel comfortable with
´ Squeezing a hand too hard
´ Someone touching the private parts of a child or making the child touch their private parts
MYTH: Most perpetrators are strangers to their victims.
FACT: Most sexual assaults are committed by someone that the victim knows: a neighbor, friend, acquaintance, co-worker, classmate, spouse, partner, or ex-partner.
