Recently NBC had a program called Silent Shame which dealt with
the sexual abuses on children that are so much in the news lately.
 
On this program they went to describe abuses on children by PermaFile (sp ?)
people who are prone to do this kind of thing which in many cases were the
victims of child abuse themselves.
 
The program encouraged talking about this subject so that it would be " out of
the closet" in particular with small children. My wife has talked to our daughter
about it in a casual way in particular in the dealing with strangers, the problem is
that in many cases some of these persons are not total strangers to the child but 
somewhat figures that traditionally we teach our children to trust and obey.
 
After viewing that program I am preparing to talk to my 4 year old daughter on 
the subject of not trusting or obeying even some of the figures that myself in the
past I have told her to obey. What are some of the way that others have approach
this subject of obey teacher, coach, friend, neighboor type figures but only to
the extent that does not involve your private parts of your body. Does anyone have had
experienced with this type of talk , what has been a typical conversation and or response
, What age group is the child in? Has it created Fear that curtails social relationships?
