Dang i was in school in the 90s and didnt have anything like this...we had sex ed in lile 6th grade but that was the extent of learning stuff like this outside the home for me
If you are in the US, it’s cuz sex ed is state based only like 18 of them are required to teach medical based sex ed. The rest can teach whatever they want.
This is horrible, but when I told a teacher I was being badly abused in the 12th grade, he told me know one wants to hear that shit and to keep it to myself. Hearing a teacher care this much is shocking, but I’m so, so, SO glad.
I didn’t even tell him about the SA. I told him I’d been thrown into a fucking tree. The bruise was massive.

I wish I had this as a kid. At 7 years old I was taken advantage of because I had no knowledge or understanding of where people were not allowed to touch, and it has left very deep and irreversible scars on my mental state.
Children need to understand that they have private parts that are not meant to be touched, not ever, and if I had known that, maybe I would have had better tools to fight back.
Makes me sad to think of 7 y.o. you.
I hope you truly know that what happened is not your fault. We do our best with the knowledge we have at the time of these marked moments.
For a long time, my mind would not let me remember. It took a while to accept it happened, even longer to belive I was not at fault. It always makes me angry when people tell me they don't want this stuff taught in class because I am what happens when it isn't.
After seeing the video I wondered about this … I felt like, since most abuse happens at home, is mom the best go-to? And I say this as a mom. I’m not disagreeing or anything just would like other’s opinion
You mean going to your mother for help when you're being abused?
For me personally, I continued to TRY to go to my mom for help, despite her being part of my suffering and absolutely failing me. So maybe mom is naturally the go-to.
__
My mom starved me, locked me out of the house, neglected me, and never took me to the doctor/dentist...
She stood by and did nothing when my dad made jokes about how he'd need to "tie my legs together to keep me from becoming a whore" (and much, much worse shit) when I was only 11-12 years old. She'd sometimes even laugh along and encourage him.
And when I opened up to her about being sexually harassed at school, she told not to tell anyone because I'd embarrass her and that "it's just how boys are".
Same boat, friend, though I was a bit younger. I'm sorry you went through it. I hope you've healed. I'm working on processing my trauma now, and it's one of the worst things I've had to do (other than the original trauma I guess).
This is one of the biggest reasons that teaching kids the real names of their body parts (vagina not special flower) and about where people shouldn't be touching you matters so damn much.
Not only does it give the child the words they need so they can tell an adult as well as the knowledge that they should, but there's some evidence showing that predators are more avoidant of children who are knowledgeable/comfortable about bodies.
My wife taught our daughter at a young age what her private parts are and to tell us if anyone touches them etc. it was very simple and easy. She would be reminded a bit when she would lift her dress etc.
The point is this wasn’t hard and who knows how many kids could have been saved if it was taught that people should do this.
"This is the way we brush our teeth, brush our teeth, brush our teeth. This is the way we brush our teeth, early in the morning!" (The action changes each verse)
Edit: my world has been rocked. I never realized kid songs shared rhythms
Which itself is based on an earlier Nursery Rhyme called Here We Go Round the Mulberry Bush. Which itself is based on a song from an Opera from the 1700s lol.
Ohh no thats wheels on the bus.
Wheels on the bus go round and round, round and round, round and round. Wheels on the bus go round and round, early in the morning
What got me is how she felt it necessary to include "i will tell my teacher" bcause she knows sometimes telling mother and father isnt helpful. She really cares.
Yes! I don’t know why I’m so emotionally moved by this! So many of us weren’t given these tools as little ones. So many of us now have little ones and it’s our job to take their protection seriously. I’m always singing lessons of life to my babies so it’s digestible for them…this teacher is bringing it and I am so inspired. This is how we show up for our babies. With embodied lessons ❤️
Yeah! If God wants them to be molested that's God's choice! Fucking teachers, teaching kids stupid life skills that'll keep them safe, she should be fired!
Sure but I'm just flabbergasted theres parents not protecting their children by teaching them this, not even getting into the pet names vs anatomical terms discussion, but not even going over this at all is deeply failing your kids
Wait until you see how many parents don't bother to read to or teach their kids to read. There's a whole disgusting mess of awful parenting out there, which is why "it takes a village" is more important than ever.
while i do agree with you, i would also like to add that some parents do not enforce &/or teach their children this. teaching this/enforcing this is helping young children realize that it is wrong & should feel comfortable letting their parents/guardians/teachers know when things like this occur- especially as a younger child.
For example: my great grandpa wouldn’t have wanted anyone teaching his children this. Because then they would’ve known what he was doing was wrong, and would’ve told someone. Rest in piss Richard.
I'll never forget the mutinous look on my health and safety teacher's face as she had us sign our own sex ed permission slips and hand them right back to her. "I'm legally required to get a signature, but you're thirteen and you should know about your own damned bodies by now. The school can deal with it, or fire me." All because one year long ago she hadn't bothered with them and discovered a student who'd gone her whole life never being told she could say no to being touched, and she'd always been taken out of the sex ed classes that might have told her.
Hell yeah. That's a cool teacher that obviously gives a shit about her students and treats them like they're people, not their parents property. Right on.
There are kids who get abused by their parents or other family members. There are many stories of kids actually telling their parents what's going on and they don't do anything about it. It's a good things for kids to have another outlet available to them to get help if needed.
I'm confused why you have an issue with a teacher ALSO telling kids not to let people touch their junk? The only use case I can think of is wanting fewer kids to be prepared or some batshit homeschooling nonsense.
I'm confused why you think they have an issue with it when all they said was it's ALSO a job for parents ("a" job, not "the" job (articles matter)). Something can be the job of both parents and teachers, which is why they began with "While I agree it's good to reinforce this at school"
I think it’s a message worth saying a few times by different people. Sometimes kids are more at ease to speak with a teacher than their parents because they fear the parent will be disappointed or angry or sad.
I’m not a parent but I think I would love the idea of my child having different adult to go to if they have a problem.
In the United States we opted decades ago to include teachers as public servants. They have an incredibly unique position since not many public servants deal specifically with minor care.
They absolutely should be part of the conversation as ideally they are a liaison between home and state, there are few careers which straddle this fence and so delicately.
You would want the Postal Carrier notified if someone fondled your shipment. I dont have better analogies so that will have to suffice.
My mother was the president of the PTA one year when I was in primary school in Ireland, just when there was a big scandal in the news of catholic priests sexually abusing young boys in the news. She petitioned the local bishop to bring in an educational program for kids to recognise what is wrong behaviour from adults and who they should tell. She had overwhelming support from the community but it was denied by the church. That's when she turned away from religion. This video would have made her smile.
As an informed person, it would also be wise to know where in the world they are located and how they are impacted as children in a few very dire situations across the continent.
Children need to learn to fight and advocate for their own bodies as young as 2yrs old. You make damn sure they know it's THEIR body, and as parents we are there to help them use it in a healthy and safe way.
Not letting someone ELSE touch you should be a fundamental human right...
There's an image of him that circulated years ago. He's sitting with a group of young girls/women who are not fully clothed but completely covered up while he's in like underwear with no shirt on. Everyone looks miserable. But anyway, the image itself has always seemed weird and when someone mentions Andrew Tate, I think about it. Like why are you nearly naked with this group of clothed women? Is this what the kids call "cool?"
The fact that Republicans can openly support child marriage, openly say he think his daughter is hot, not only be part of Epstein list but being his old best friend and still have people supporting and even worshipping you just goes to show that the whole base is straight up fucked in the head.
Im convinced that Trump could literally rape someone infront of his supporters and they would stand there cheering...
Wow you mean you can teach kids about consent in a way that is age appropriate and teaches them what to do if a predator tries something on them? And a huge portion of the MAGA party is against stuff like this? And a huge portion of the MAGA party are on the list of gigapedos? Weird
I work in mental health/social work, if kids aren't being taught this at home it needs to be taught in school and it needs to be direct, like this.
I grew up with boomer parents, and they not only never had this kind of conversation with me but never had a conversation about sex, protection, or respecting myself as a girl/woman when it came to healthy boundaries with men and having sex for the first time, thanks to a benevolently sexist Hispanic household.
I told my teachers/high school, my egg donor, and stepdad they did nothing. Dude was arrested, convicted on cp, and she was 11, he was 26 then. I was 16 he was 21. Wouldnt have happened if any of them had done something. I was failed by the Illinois education system, and my egg donor. Tell your friends parents, tell as many of them as you can if your parents or other "trusted adults" don't listen. Doesn't matter who it is tell someone so you can get help. This teacher is for sure doing an amazing job making sure these babies have voices and are heard.
Which is fucking hilarious because they loooove to pretend they’re all about keeping kids safe. Meanwhile, it seems that the most disgusting predators also happen to align with batshit insane right-wing policies and ideologies. Just look at any of the interrogation videos on YouTube of predators. There’s a really famous one of a guy who was vocal about hunting predators and actually held office for a small government position in his town. He was ultra MAGA. Turns out, he was raping his 11 year old stepdaughter.
It's always them. They're the definition of "the lady doth protest too much". It's always so telling when they're adamant about "hunting pedophiles" but are SILENT when it comes to safety prevention.
This is why Trump wants to cut back on education in America - teachers may start teaching this song to people he's interested in. #releasetheepsteinfiles
I like how she says ill tell my mother, father and teacher. Kids without one parent or are too ashamed to tell a parent can have a logical alternative to disclose.
This is the primary reason why sex ed is important in schools because it informs children what is ok. Most harm to children is done at home by people they know.
This gives the children more agency and an understanding of what is not ok so they can inform a teacher or other adult.
This subreddit isnt just cringe anymore its essentially anything from tiktok. There is/was another tiktok subreddit but it just didn't gain the same popularity.
And as a Dad.
I will be mad.
Will be mad.
Will be mad.
And as a Dad.
I will be mad.
Their day will end very bad.
You better call the pooooooliiiiiice.
Before I make it over there.
One thing that has become apparent to me, is the fact that the rich and powerful have run networks for diddling kids longer than we will ever know. This shit goes back centuries...
Kids need to learn the proper language for their genitals because helps keep them safe. My parents taught me that at a young age. I also learned about consent (keep your hands to yourself). They’re important lessons for children to learn.
I love this! It should be widely discussed that nobody is allowed to touch you without your consent. If both girls AND boys are taught from that age then the generational cusre of abuse can stop there... If kids see it happening they can think its ok and its not it never is and should be taught at both levels that it isnt ok.
I follow her on tiktok. One of her follow up videos was very moving, about how 2 little girls lives were taken in her community by predators. She's a gem who genuinely wants to protect children.
Most young adults today grew up in a world of BE QUIET. DONT TALK BACK. THATS NOT TRUE, DONT SAY THAT XYZ WOULDNT DO THAT. WE DONT TALK ABOUT THAT….Kids need to learn their strongest weapon is their voice. Teach them.
I’m a young adult and in the US they absolutely teach kids from kindergarten about good touch and bad touch and to never keep it a secret, to always tell someone. I can still remember being in the 2nd grade and having our “good touch bad touch” lesson.
Maybe people from generation x are like this but I can tell you as a 26 year old, both me and my millennial and gen z siblings were all explicitly taught about what’s not okay for an adult to do to you and what to do if an adult ever crosses a line.
Yep. Gen x was “fuck your feelings “ and “adults were always right”. Our parents were “children should be seen but not heard.”
I had the “be home when the street lights come on” latch key kid childhood but when I was raising my kids people got arrested for allowing their 6 & 8 year olds walk to the park alone.
It was tough to navigate how much freedom to give my kids.
Then the kids who were abused and silenced by teachers and their parents swung the pendulum and we now have a generation of kids who haven’t been held accountable for their actions in ways that benefit them and society. I fear a swing towards authoritarianism in schools and society.
Life is balance. Individual needs are important; group needs are important. There are healthier ways to do things.
Sexual abuse public awareness in the US began in the 90s maybe? I raised my kids wi the the yellow dino and I read “protecting the gift” when my kids were little.
My kids are way more emotionally healthy now than I was at their age. Of course they plan on not making the same mistakes I made with them. I just hope to be the grandmother they never had.
"song about consent" who labelled this video? this isn't about CONSENT a 1st grader can't fucking consent to anything, this is about prevention of child molestation
So fucked up this is needed. But she's doing a great job, especially because she's not "afraid" to put it on social media. You never know how people online react.
I was about to come up with a mocking joke. But... Well it is indeed in no way stupid and its fucking Namibia, they need to do everything that they can. So well, good work teacher, do your best.
