TAALK Tip # 7: "Experts estimate that 1 in 4 girls and 1 in 6 boys are sexually abused before their 18th birthdays*. Moms Beware! Predators look for opportunities to be with children and they often prey on overworked, stressed, single Moms. If someone is overly eager to help you with the kids – driving them to lessons, picking them up from school, tutoring them, babysitting so you can have some time to yourself – this should be a red flag." says founder and host Diane Cranley.
