CATHOLIC youngsters are being taught to identify grooming by sex abusers by a child protection veteran who claims most children have no idea when it is happening, even if confronted with pornography.
Andrea Musulin, who worked in the police child protection unit for three decades before being recruited by the Catholic Church to run its Safeguarding program, said most children were uneducated about paedophilia.
In the wake of the Catholic sex abuse scandal, a new guide written by Ms Musulin is being used by the Church to help children identify when they are in unsafe situations.
The book urges children to tell adults when someone looks at obscene images in their presence, plays games involving genitalia, or asks them to keep secrets.
