It is very important to teach your kids the difference between good and bad touch since a very young age, not go to much details before he/she reaches 13 or 14 but the basic things like when you should complaint about somebody's touch and the area where nobody should touch.
So many kids face assaults from young age but they are unable to express it to their parents as they are rather confused if it was really bad or just accidental. Not only girls but boys too should get sex education at right time to avoid such mishaps.
They should be strong enough to inform the society that is happening with them and the accused should feel humiliated.

Every school every institute should teach the kid about it but first responsibility should be of the parent/guardians.
I don't want to say this but these days not even school is safe!

The most abominable of all assaults is the abuse of a child.

@ThatDisha Parents can never be too careful.
Here's a song I've always associated with the children.

Yes, hence parents should keep an eye on everyone who meets the child frequently

I have always explained the bad touch to my daughter as well as my son when they were 6 years. I know how people don't spare kids. I had to tell especially to my daughter not to let her be touched by a stranger. I remember once her school van driver patted her back she complained to us and we asked her driver not to repeat the same ever. We need to be vigilant all the time regarding our kids.

That's true.. girls are at more risks in such matters then boys but boys are not spared too.
If a child is not taught to complain such things at a young age then they grow up like that only not telling about such issues to the parents even when they are conscious about something bad is happening with them

There is no age in which explaining why touching is and. I wouldn’t wait till they are in middle school since puberty starts are the age of 9-10. We have already explain this to our kids before the enter elementary school. Also explained there body parts how they work for the most part. Last year we had the period talk well me and my 10 year old girl did.

Yes indeed.
Along as they know its alright to touch themselves in what ever way they see fit.
All too often kids are taught that mastubration is wrong and dirty.

Yes, its really necessary. I try to teach younger good or bad touch to safe them from pervert. Some children suffers mentally as they scare of unwanted touch or touch pain which hampers their joyful childhood.

You are right, gone are the days when people could hand over their kids to anyone so that they can play with the child.
Nowadays, can't trust anyone with so many cases reported on a day-to-day basis. It's a very sensitive thing that parents need to teach kids, without making them too scared and cynical for people around. It's a tricky thing to handle taking kids into confidence.

This is because children are not friendly with their parents.

These things should be taught as soon as child starts to understand and is exposed to the real world where parents cannot be with them.
First of all parents should teach these things as kids are more close to them.
And parent child relation should be very frank and close..child should not be afraid of his/her own parents to talk to.
Most of the time fear of parents makes them not talk about what is bothering them.
