WHAT FATHERS CAN DO TO PREVENT THEIR CHILDREN FROM BEING EXPLOITED BY THE SEX INDUSTRY

Keep one's marriage healthy. A child becomes much more vulnerable once the father is no longer in the home to care, protect, raise and interact with the child.
Listen to the child, give quality time, build a relationship where even the most risky things can be said. We cannot support a child if we don't know what they are thinking or facing.
Be open to and conversant about topics which seem taboo - abuse, sex, chemicals, pregnancy, homosexuality, abortion. Being "right" about something often appears very rigid and the person appears unapproachable.
Take responsibility for the child's future welfare and contribution in the world. If fathers just want to look good, make others wrong, do their own thing, the child might feel second rate, unloved or unworthy in the process, making them less able to fulfill their own calling.
Resist being overprotective. The child needs to develop their own life, make choices and learn consequences earlier rather than later.
Look for what will BUILD the child's life - skills, friends, experiences, and communicate in a way which assists the child in seeing how communication can be a tool for working with breakdowns and disappointments.
Model healthy ways of being, with life, with hurts, with joys, with people, with people at risk, with treacherous people.
Live joyfully in Jesus Christ, live in the freedom of the Gospel, use the resources of the Scriptures, of prayer, of the community of faith, of Christian conversations and allow the child to overhear and get what that is all about.
