For parents on the prevention of sexual violence against minors

- - sudden isolation, depression, isolation, departure into itself;
- - a strong reaction of fright or disgust in connection with the physical proximity of a certain adult;
- - the child’s refusal to undress to hide bruises and wounds on the body;
- - demonstration of "adult" behavior, interest in sex issues;
- - The child spends a lot of time in the family of acquaintances, classmates, neighbors, does not seek home after school;
- - absenteeism in the educational institution, a sudden change in academic performance.
