Child Safe Tips

When we think of a child molester we think of an adult and there are many adult child molesters. However, adolescents are responsible for a large number of rapes and child molestation cases. A study in 1993 found that adolescents were responsible for about one-half of the child molestation cases and about one-fifth of all rapes. This is one perpetrator we cannot forget when teaching our children what to watch for and what to do if someone tries to hurt them.

Studies have found that adolescent offenders have many traits in common. They are socially isolated; they have a hard time with socialization and they often feel socially inadequate. They have chronic learning problems, they may have been victimized in the past, they have anti-social traits (which may be a result of being victimized), alcohol or drugs were involved, and psychopathology was an issue before they victimized another. Some studies have found that adult child molesters were interested in abusing others sexually at a young age. This would account for some of the adolescent sexual abuse rates. There have been successful therapies when children, who want to abuse others, are helped at an early age.

When people think of child molesters they typically think of men. The truth is there are female child molesters and they are just as manipulative and violent as male abusers. There are mothers that abuse their sons and use the premise of making each other feel good. One out of six boys will be sexually assaulted before they reach the age of 18. Therefore, there are a lot more female child molesters and predators than most people think.

The female abuse on young men is not discussed as frequently as male sexual offenders. Boys that have been abused typically do not tell because they feel so embarrassed. A boy feels a devastating sense of shame and tries to compensate for negative feelings about himself. Some male victims just decide to be angry and tough, because they are not going to be hurt again and they do not want to be seen as weak. Male victims often have negative feelings about themselves, they have a hard time trusting others, they have masculinity issues, problems with sexuality, feelings of anger, betrayal, and a deep sense of shame and humiliation. Female child molesters cannot be forgotten when teaching your children safety techniques.

This registration is designed to keep track of these dangerous criminals and to have up-to-date information on their physical descriptions. Convicted child molesters are required to update their information when they move to a new home or a new city. Different states have different requirements, but most offenders are required to update their information a few times a year whether they have moved or not. The purpose for this is to have current pictures. Child molesters know people look through databases to keep track of the molesters in their area.

Child molesters can have adult sexual partners. They may be married and the marriage may come across as a happy, successful union. The molester may even love his wife, but he uses his role as the happy family man to build trust and gain access to children. Women also molest children and they too can use their roles to hide their crimes. Child molesters try to create lifestyles that allow them access to children. They have jobs that involve children, they volunteer in child organizations, they go to church, and they will go wherever they possible can to find a victim.

Child molesters target specific ages and genders. They may even choose children due to hair color, size, or eye color. Molesters will use manipulation to confuse the child; this confusion gives the molester more control. They may threaten their victims, bribe them, or convince them that they are in love with their molester. Child molesters network with other molesters and they enjoy child pornography. They may show a child the offensive material. Child molesters do not stop and they will continue to find victims. We must all take precautionary steps to protect our children.
