This type of abnormal behavior begins from childhood and adolescence, most of the time due to the individual being harassed in his childhood or adolescence, so he begins to practice this act with other children, and gets used to practicing it, and it is considered a kind of mental disorder that leads to psychological imbalance Therefore, after receiving their punishment, the harassers receive a psychological rehabilitation, so that he does not continue to practice these abnormal acts.

Therefore, parents should be keen to provide sufficient awareness to the child by answering his natural questions at this stage and not be ashamed to talk with the child and make him aware of his limits with others, with the need to teach him the limits of dealing with strangers and even relatives and the red lines that no one should make anyone His relationship with him was to overcome it, in order to preserve the child from being exposed to any abnormal and abnormal behavior that could be exposed to him, through any person.
