It’s a hard truth to face: most sexual predators aren’t strangers in dark alleys.

2?? Boundary Violations: Is someone ignoring personal or physical limits? Take note.
3?? Secrecy & Isolation: Predators thrive on secrets and alone time with victims.
4?? Age-Inappropriate Relationships: Preference for children’s company over peers is a red flag.
