Hello, my name

is Tam.

This is my village.

Welcome to my home. I live

here with my Mum, Dad, sister

and brother.

Presented by

Mum, I love living here,

I know it’s small and we don’t

have much, but I know we are

all really happy.

Hi I’m Alak. I live

next door. Tam’s Mum

and Dad often invite me

over for dinner so I’m

not lonely.

Alak is

really friendly, but

sometimes I feel

embarrassed because he

gives me more attention

than everyone else.

Alak likes to be

alone with me. I don’t

like being alone with

Alak. I want to be

with my family.

Colour me in

Alak places his

hand on my leg. I just

wish he would leave

me alone...

You like it

when I come over

to see you, don’t

you Tam? Don’t tell

anyone...but you’re

my favorite.

Take this money

Tam. It’s just for you.

You are very special

to me.

I know this

money should make

me happy, but I feel

confused about why

he has given it to

me and not my Mum

and Dad.

Can you help Tam find these words

from the story in the wordsearch?

Can you draw a face to match

the word?

54

I want to tell Mum and Dad

but I’m too scared because he says

I shouldn’t tell anyone. He says it’s

a gift just for me. I feel strange

when Alak is near me.

Thanks for having

me over for dinner, it

was really lovely.

Come by anytime

Alak, you are so good

to my family.

Pass the ball!

Over here! It is always so

much fun playing

with you Tam.

Hi boys,

mind if

I play?

Colour me in

76

When

we’re alone, Alak

often touches me -

like today when he

stroked my arm

when there was

no need to.

He also touches

my bottom and

his hand stays

there for what

feels like a long

time. This feels

wrong...

Read the questions and choose

the correct answer.

How does Alak make Tam feel?

a. Happy.

b. Strange.

Why doesn’t he tell his Mum and Dad about it?

a. He likes the attention.

b. He is too scared.

What do you think Tam should have done

1. Alak makes me feel uncomfortable

and strange. At first I didn’t know why,

but I’ve always been taught that it is

important to trust how you feel inside.

2. It’s not right

for grown-ups

to touch you in

your private

places or

anywhere that

makes you feel

strange or unhappy.

It is normal for adults

who you love to show

you that they love you,

to hug you and to

kiss you.

But these places

are private and no-one

should touch them if you

don’t want them to.

This can happen to

anyone, boys and girls. So

I’ve told my sister the same

things. Nobody should make

her feel uncomfortable and

touch her in these places

without her permission.

Don’t touch me Alak!

I don’t like it! You have

no right to touch me in

that way! I’m going to

tell my Mum!

1110

Tam,

you are very

brave for telling me.

Alak is a bad man for

making you feel bad

and touching you in

the way he has. I

promise you will not

have to see him

again.

Mum,

Alak makes me

feel unhappy and

he touches me in

places that are

private.

If anything like

this happens to you, it’s

not your fault. There are

things you can do.

Top Tip 1 Trust your

instincts Trust

how you feel

inside. If you feel

sad or uncomfortable

with things that

people ask you to

do, you need to

tell someone you

trust.

Top Tip 2

Tell an adult

you trust

This could be

your parents or other

people you trust like

community officials,

support workers or

other adults. They

can help you.

Touching me

in the places he did

was very bad and Alak

has been taken away by

the Police so we don’t

have to see him

anymore.

1312

Everything is fine for me now,

because I told someone when things

didn’t feel right.

I hope my story can

help you to be safe and

happy in the future too.

Bye.

If you are worried

about your safety, or the safety

of someone you know, there are other

people you can talk to too...

He also touches my bottom

and his hand stays there for

what feels like a long time.

This feels wrong.

I love my family. We don’t

have much money or space

but we’re happy.

Next time Alak came to play,

I told him that I didn’t like

him touching me and I ran to

my Mum.
