How a new program aims to protect children from sexual abuse by other children
to engage a younger child in problem sexual behavior. We tell teens not to kick, punch, or tease younger children, but we don’t give them the same clear guidance that sexual behaviors with younger children are harmful and illegal. Even the programs we use to teach kids how to recognize, resist, and report sexual abuse, while worthwhile, don’t include lessons about sexual consent—and why younger children can never give sexual consent.
We’re hopeful that a new school-based prevention program we and our colleagues developed can help. Responsible Behavior With Younger Children focuses on teaching middle-schoolers to engage responsibly with younger children and avoid behaviors associated with child sexual abuse.
through focus groups and interviews showed these adults want information and guidance about child sexual abuse to help keep their children and other kids and classrooms safe. Students are also enthusiastic about the program. During the program, they learn about developmental differences between teens and younger children, discuss healthy and unhealthy teen-younger child relationships, including a definition of child sexual abuse and an explanation of its harmfulness, and talk about facts and misconceptions about child sexual abuse and legal ramifications.
