This is one such devil which haunts all parents. As a parent, it always helps to have in your arsenal, the signs that your child might show in such an unfortunate situation. The signs that an adult might use his/her relationship with a child for sexual reasons may not be obvious but if parents are vigilant enough, an potential abuser can be identified way before the abuse happens. Favoring a child, being overly affectionate and creating reasons for them to be alone.Insisting on physical affection such as kissing, hugging or wrestling even when the child says no.
Always volunteers to babysit without even been requested.
If an adult is insisting or coaxing a child to be alone with no interruptions and in a private area like their room.
Always wants to take children out alone.
Showers gifts or gives a children money or take them toy/candy shopping for no apparent reason.
Does not respect a child’s privacy.
Always sits next to the child with discomforting physical proximity.
Talks on behalf of the child in front of parents and instructs parents in front of the child to show command.
