The SafeParent app created by Jeff Herman, child advocate and attorney for victims of sexual abuse in US, has a quiz for parents to take with their kids.
The quiz contains a series of questions regarding "red flag" behaviour about an adult in their child's life.

"When you're finished, the SafeParent meter will score your answers and calculate a concern score ranging from low to immediate threat," its creators said.
"Most children are groomed before they are sexually abused," Herman was quoted by 'hlntv.com' as saying.
The grooming process follows typical patterns that can be identified as red flags.
"After representing hundreds of victims of sexual abuse it became readily apparent to me that many kids can be protected from sexual abuse if their parents recognised these red flags and responded," said Herman.
The score of the quiz is less important than learning about what is a red flag and whether the red flags are present in your child's life, said Herman.
