What can happen when old-school "signs & symptoms" sexual abuse prevention training is used?
- Adults freak out because they think most sexual behaviors are signs of abuse when this is usually not the case
- Children are punished for normal curiosity which can lead to sexual behaviors going “underground”
- Staff tend to report less because they don’t want to cause problems for themselves, the organization or the family
- Because they’ve heard it all before staff is bored to tears during these dated trainings.
