My children had histories of being sexually abused. Only one is an offender-his two bio brothers are not. I did know he was an offender early on as there were multiple accounts of his attempts throughout his file.
One of the things we do is to put alarms on all the childrens doors. This helps 2 ways. It prevents the children entering each others rooms without our knowledge. It also lets the children know that no one will be sneaking in on them either. My sibling group of 3 use to sleep under their beds at night. After putting the alarms on, only one continued to do so.
A lot of the kids in the system have been sexual abused. Some act out as its learned behavior and can easliy be taught not to. I think there are very few that actually are true offenders. When other kids are involved, you do have to be more careful. Anytime I take a new child, we all go over safety rules-good touch, bad touch, telling without fear etc.
