That’s correct. The creators of Sesame Street recognized the value in having grown ups “see” something that is very important to a kid. Thus, they came to see Bird’s best friend, Snuffy. And thereby tried to reassure kids that if they had some secret to share (like being molested) the adults in their life would listen.
