Child abuse can happen anywhere, even in Oprah's school

The news in the last few days has been about the child abuse that occured at Oprah Winfrey's leadership academy in Africa. No one can blame Oprah for what happened. Child abuse can happen anywhere at anytime. This is why it is so important to teach the child, and talk to the child about the possibility that a sexual predator would try to approach them to abuse them. Train them to know the tricks that these sick individuals use to gain children's trust or fear. Do not be afraid of talking to your child about what can happen if they fall for the tricks of a predator. Be more fearful of letting your child be ignorant.
