You can explain it to them when they are older and more mature. Maybe after puberty or something. But not when they are toddlers.
We have to be careful what we expose our kids to. Whatever they consume, they will imitate. This is human psychology. If you expose them to abuse, they will abuse. If you expose them to porn, they will watch porn. If you expose them LGBT, they will be LGBT.
Of cause a child’s age has everything to say about at what level and detail you explain things.
Regarding abuse, porn, etc.
What we should do as parents is give our kids enough knowledge and tools to handle it when they eventually will get exposed to it. (Of cause appropriate to their age).
What we should not do is to hide everything away and never speak about touchy subjects, or make the kid afraid of a group of people, because then we make it very easy for people to abuse our kids when they are teenagers or young adults as they don’t know anything about the world. There’s countless examples of this.
