Answer: You should be worried when: • A child behaves in a very sexual way or appears to have too much sexual knowledge. • A relationship between a child and adult seems inappropriate, for example, overly affectionate in an adult way. • A child tells you about sexual activity between themselves and someone older, or talks about 'secrets' that someone has told them not to say anything about to other adults.
