Every child needs to be taught to be careful.

There is more child molesting going on than reported. Every child needs to be taught at an early age on what to be on the alert for, and how to avoid it. Even very young children need to be trained to watch out for strangers.

If the subject is handled with appropriate sensitivity, it is beneficial for children to learn about it.

As much as I wish it were not necessary, children must be taught what is and is not acceptable behavior, when it comes to adults. They also need a trusted person to talk to when such issues arise, and a teacher could be that person.

I feel that children should be educated about molestation in elementary school, so that they are made aware of what it is and that it is wrong.

Many children become victims of molestation because a trusted adult tells them that it is good and they just believe them. I feel that children in elementary school should have something basic taught to them in school, just so that they know enough that, if this is happening to them, they will realize that this is wrong, and that they should report it.
