Why Naming Harm Matters More Than Ever
At RosasChildren, we believe in speaking the truth plainly—because children’s safety depends on it.
In recent years, we’ve witnessed a disturbing shift. Society has become like a dysfunctional family: aware of the predators in the room, yet collectively silent. We’ve been taught to stay polite, stay quiet, stay unsure—even when children are in danger.
And who benefits from that?
The predators.
Those who prey upon our children have flourished not just in the shadows, but in plain sight—because we have been conditioned to look away, to explain it away, or worse, to emotionally empathize with harm.
Yes, there are predators in private spaces. But that does not excuse the ones smiling, grooming, and circling in public spaces.
Wrong is wrong.
Sinister is sinister.
Unsafe is unsafe.
We will not romanticize harm. We will not pad it in language it hasn’t earned. We will not exchange children’s safety for adults’ comfort.
It is time to return to truth.
To courage.
To calling a thing a thing.
Because children are worth protecting.
And silence is not safety.
