Missing advices aboud child abusers

Parents should not only have their parents under constant watch, but they should inform them how to be careful from anyone who goes close to them without being part of the family.

A psychology professor at Tirana’s university of social sciences, Arjana Mucaj, says that one of the best advices that parents should give to their children in a very young age is to never talk or trust strangers.

“A child abuser could even be someone living nearby and whom the child knows very well. Children cannot knock on any door, if they need something”, according to the psychologist.

Mucaj says that schools should also do more for this matter.

“Students don’t have subjects in which they can learn about these phenomena, and the role of psychologists in schools is very important”, Mucaj declares.

“Mucaj explains the profile of a child abuser and the symptoms of an abused child.

“A child abuser could be very friendly and with a very decent social behaviour. There is nothing that can give him away. You can tell an abused child from the way he acts. He is closed and doesn’t communicate. Parents should understand the reason why this behaviour did happen”, Mucaj says.

Most of the abuse victims reported in our country have been abused by people who were not strangers for their parents, or even neighbours. Police says that in the last five years there have been 59 cases of abused children.
