Who abuses children?

September 2016

Only occasionally is the abuser someone the child doesn’t know. More often it is someone the child, or the child’s family, knows and trusts. However the myth of ‘stranger danger’ continues.

'Stranger danger' is an outdated, discredited and potentially dangerous concept that the New Zealand Police has steered away from since the late 1980s. 

Children need to know how to identify and tell a trusted person if anyone is behaving towards them in a way that makes them feel unsafe. Normalising the term ‘stranger danger’ goes against this.
