"Will you walk into my parlour?" said the Spider to the Fly,
"'Tis the prettiest little parlour that ever you did spy;
The way into my parlour is up a winding stair,
And I have many curious things to show you when you are there."
"Oh no, no," said the Fly, "to ask me is in vain;
For who goes up your winding stair can ne'er come down again."
"The Spider and the Fly" (1829) Mary Howitt
Sexual predators live in our communities and homes (mostly undetected), as they weave in, out and around young families. They hide in the shadows, watching and waiting for that moment of opportunity when a child believes their lies or surrenders to their coercion.
Breakthrough Options will give you insight to recognise unhealthy behaviours in others, and skills, to disarm any 'grooming' behaviours of those 'nice' people that have access to vulnerable children.
Predatory people recognise and build webs around our trust, vulnerabilities, needs and desires. Breakthrough Options highlights how we unknowingly engage with the perpetrator, to become actively involved in the process of his control and manipulations, no matter what age we are. With insight and knowledge, you will recognise a predator in your midst, you will notice them building a web around a chosen victims and you will know what to do when your instinct matches up with a predator's 'grooming' behaviour.
"And now, dear little children, who may this story read,
To idle, silly, flattering words, I pray you ne'er heed;
Unto an evil counsellor close heart, and ear, and eye,
And take a lesson from this tale of the Spider and the Fly."
"The Spider and the Fly" (1829) Mary Howitt
