Piko is very courageous!! It's really important for people to stand up for themselves, but many are afraid to do so.
No one should fear. Don't let crime occur, stand up! People should also help when they see something bad happening!!


More of my own thoughts:

I think victims of assault (sexual or other) are more afraid to say something out loud. They feel embarrassed, or are afraid of the assaulter, or maybe think no one will believe them. Staying silent won't do anything. Staying silent only lets the assaulter walk away freely. Then, they can just repeat themselves again and again. Everyone should have the courage to say something about this!

Don't keep silent. Have courage. Stand up for yourself!

If you see/know of something happening to another person, don't ignore it. Step in and help! We can't allow perpetrators to act freely. They must be stopped!

These are my thoughts. Let's not let crime occur.
