Child abuse has to be one of the greatest evils in any society, a secretive sin that betrays innocence, destroys the essence of childhood, and can cause lifelong emotional pain and dysfunction. As a parent herself, Bruna Dessena knows that every parent's nightmare is that one day their child might be abused. How do you deal with that? How do you help the child? What do you do first? What will happen next? Every Parent's Nightmare answers all these questions. The author tells you about paedophiles and paedophile rings, including how they groom children over time to gain their trust before they abuse them. She also covers the legal aspects, what should be done when you find out, and what happens in a court of law. Bruna includes the Sexual Offences Act and the Children's Act so that you'll know the child's rights and what you can expect from the legal system in South Africa. Written simply and without undue melodrama, Bruna gives it to you straight. Recommended for all adults who have children or work with children, this book will help you to deal with the trauma if it's already happening or to guard against it happening.
