This is one issue I feel very strongly about.I don't understand why parents think such an important issue should be hidden from the child. Why is it bad? Its not a wrong or a shameful thing at all. It is very essential fo the child to be taught the difference betwee a 'good' touch and a 'bad' touch from a very young age. If someone touches a child in a manner which makes the child uncomfortable, the child should be allowed to speak up and not told to shut up. It could and it has caused untold damage and distresss to the same children when they grow up. Usually, it is the servant, the driver, some bhaiya in the colony, the watchman or even some trusted uncle - who lures the child with chocolates to play a game. Ughhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, lock these people away and blast them off to space. They do not deserve to be on earth.

hmm.. I know of a parent, who gave her daughter a one hour demonstration of what is a good touch and what is a bad touch - really appreciate that we are finally stepping out of the box, and dealing things head on.

btw - Most adults think that children cannot handle the gravity of the situation or do not understand - in reality, the child knows thats something is wrong, except that s/he had never heard vocabulary to express the same - Phew! - if only we taught them some useful words apart from lots of cute stuff !

Child Molested is a society scarred.
Adult molested is an individual fallen.

Yes it is very important - if the child does not speak it leaves the child scarred for life emotionally n never really able to get into a proper relationship ever
