*** BEWARE OF THE MONSTERS CALLED “CHILD MOLESTERS a.k.a. PAEDOPHILES”.

People always tend to judge others by their superficial appearances or personality forgetting that appearance can be deceitful. Child molester also known as paedophiles can be charming, attractive, easy mannered, men/women with social grace and respected personality.

Many neighborhoods, churches, institutions, faith-based schools and most prestigious missionary schools harbors these monsters as big mummies, school teachers, choir masters, priest, big aunties and uncles, pastors, coaches, mentors etc. Most of these people are highly placed in the society and seen as responsible, god-fearing and influential personalities. Under their mask of deception, they portrays themselves as great mentors, motivational speakers and philanthropist to children and young people. The worst side of this is that these types of people are those that parents will look at and say, “THERE IS NOT A CHANCE IN THE WORLD THAT HE/SHE CAN SEXUALLY MOLEST A CHILD”. Don’t be fooled by these monsters appearance, outward respectability or importance in the community. They are satanic agents out to steal, kill and destroy the destinies of innocent children especially those from godly homes (JOHN 10:10). Some of these child molesters abuses children on behalf of another person that they are working for towards getting promotion, appointments, endorsement or as the case may be.

A former victim of child molestation recounted how his school big mummy molested him and took his innocence when he was in primary 1. It happened that the school mummy always gave him special attention more than others. She would give him gifts and often times, arrange for him to come and stay in her office for lessons. His parents were ignorant of the mischievous acts the school mummy was into because they worship in the same Pentecostal church. The parents regarded her as god-sent, someone who will safely mind and groom their child in a godly way in her school, not knowing that the school mummy is a wolf in sheep clothing. On a particular day, the school mummy invited him to her office for revision, suddenly she started touching her in an unusual ways and that culminated in her sexually molesting him, taking away his innocence. She enticed him with more gifts and promised to get more for him on the condition that her identity and their illicit relationship remain hidden and secret.

Another child victim of molestation said it was their parish priest who also was their choir master that defiled her under the nose of her parents. The priest worked his way and earned the trust of her parents who then saw him as someone that is going to provide godly answers and give their children right guidance and counseling. When the priests has succeeded in pushing her parents by the side, he create room wide open for her to become free and comfortable in relating with him on personal issues including sexual questions posed by the priest. It is written, " Be Not Deceived, Evil Communications Corrupt Good Manners (1ST CORINTHIANS 15:33). Because the parents are absent and the free communication that formally existed between her and the parents had been cut-off, she was left with the option than to choose the priest who was also her choir master as a confidant in relating her personal issues to. That gave the priest the room to take advantage of her and sexually molest her.

Most parents so much trust the teachers of their children at school and even at church and other settings, thereby failing in their responsibilities as God-Ordained Role Models and Mentors for their children, to guide and point their children right (PROVERB 29:15). Godly parents that care enough for their children’s future should take time and monitor their children and make them communicate to them any unusual request, questions or touching from their school teachers, choir master, priest/pastor, or by anyone. They should cultivate into their children natural virtues such as self-control, truthfulness, honesty, humility, obedience to the world of God etc. By so doing, the child will be able to make right decisions and boldly raise alarm of any unusual advances, teachings or messages that are contrary to what he/she had been taught at home by the parents…SHALOM!!!
