What is the biggest myth around child safety and abuse in your experience and why?2. Stats how that 1 in 3 girls, 1 in 5 boys and 28.5% of all Australian adults have been a victim of child sexual abuse with 90% abused by someone known to them and 47% by a direct familial relative such as a male parent, caregiver, sibling or relative. 45% of all CSA is by another child (source <a href="http://www.acms.au/">www.acms.au</a>) – are we making any dent in this?3. It seems in 2024 child abuse was something rarely talked about until the past decade or two, a taboo almost like domestic violence in homes. Are the numbers on child sexual abuse higher because they are more accurately and readily reported or something else?4. How do you start educating parents and carers on this very difficult topic of child sexual abuse?5. What role can we play in the rise of online grooming on our kids’ devices and even say online games?6.
