Who are the predators? Predators are Cyber Stalkers, serial killers/rapists, rapists, paedophiles, women beaters, child abusers, thieves et cetera. Predators very often have mental illnesses that prevent them from functioning correctly in normal society. Children with mental illnesses are often the prey of these predators, and sometimes children with mental disorders are the predators themselves. In fact, the distributor of one of the most serious viruses online came from an eighteen-year old English boy.

Dangers mental illnesses: Not everyone with a mental disorder is a threat to society. In general, predators with mental disorders are the victims of sociopathic, psychopathic and anti-social disorders, oppositional defiance, conduct control disorders, schizophrenia, borderline personality disorders (BPD), and psychosis. While there are a few other mental disorders that pose a threat to our society, this is a list of the most common potential dangers that lurk on the streets and on the Internet.

How to save a child with mental disorders from dangers : Never treat your child as if he/she has a mental disorder. Treat your child as special, yet avoid treating the child as if he/she is mentally ill, because many mentally ill patients are extremely intelligent. Teach your child the same rules that other children have to live by and stick to those rules. Do not leave room for movement when danger is present. Teach your child respect by showing respect yourself.

Children with dangerous mental illnesses will often want to watch pornography, violent images, content, and so forth. This makes it difficult as a parent to protect your child. However, it is vital that you lay down the rules. Never put yourself in danger while enforcing these rules, since some children with dangerous problems can be violent.

If the child refuses to listen to you, bring the police in and make sure that they do their job to help you enforce the rules. You may pay court fees and go through headaches, but I promise you it will benefit you in the end. As a mother raising two boys with dangerous mental problems, I can tell you it isn’t simple, but it can be done.

Children with mental illnesses often have brilliant minds that can often get past any parental controls and will do so without you even knowing. Take more time than normal to monitor your child’s activity online. Teach your child that divulging personal details is dangerous and encourage them to ask your permission when considering divulging name, phone number or other details online.

Allow your child to take some responsibility for himself and always encourage your child to join in family discussions that concern them. Furthermore, encourage the child to be safety conscious by asking them to report any crime committed against them.

One of the hardest things you’ll ever have to do while raising a child with mental health problems is encouraging him/her to avoid from violent images and pornography. It is almost impossible to keep them clear of this trash. Still, it can be done, if you set a good example for the child to follow.

It is important that you leave the channels of communication open. Allow your child to express concerns, opinions, ideals, theories and so forth without demeaning the child. You will be astounded at the knowledge children with certain mental disorders have, if you will only listen.

The best advice I can give you for dealing with children with major mental illnesses, such as psychopathy, is to seek help and stand firm. For more child safety tips for children with mental disorders seek advice from a qualified counsellor.
