For me, personally, the voice at the back of my head, that gut feeling, I always trust. Many times, we get a lot of cues about a certain person's behaviour; eg. when you think they're being too nice - we should never ignore these alarm bells and always be on our guard and never make ourselves too vulnerable.

You know this voice in back of the head is very strong and very very young children also know wrong from right BUT
and it's a big BUT what makes a diffrence is the reflex time
if the kid is told abt this before hand e.g. the workshop and he has made a deal with his parent to talk about it (oh GOD I wish parents wld make such a deal with their kids in childhood ) then the child will most likely be safe his reaction time will be fast and he will go to his parents
but if you have not spoken to ur kid about it then the time he takes to decide and the conflict with respect, the confusion , the guilt ... all this may make it worse for the child.
One more thing I want to point out is Mothers start protecting their girls at a young age but what they dont realise is that it can happen to a child also and to a boy also ... so 'sex education' an open platform to talk abt sucha thing is very very essential !
