A predator needs Control, Privacy, Vulnerability and Accessibility to be successful. Setting boundaries and enforcing them wards off potential predators by creating a strong persona that the predator finds unappealing. The following boundaries are universal to children, teens, college students and adults.
- Know your boundaries. Predetermine how you want to be treated. What you allow you encourage.
- Allowing an invasion of your boundaries sends a message that you can be controlled. This is a major attractor for the predator.
- Someone who keeps trying to invade your boundaries sends a message that they do not respect you. That is a red flag.
- If you do not take time to predetermine your boundaries, you may get caught off guard and become confused and possibly abused.
- Always keep in focus your predetermined boundaries. Healthy, good and positive people will respect them. Disrespectful, sinister and negative people will be repelled by them.
- Don’t give your trust away easily. Keep your encounters with people in context of the relationship and the boundaries you've set.
