Child Sexual Abuse Information
Statistics say that one out of every four girls and one out of every six boys will be sexually assaulted by their 18th birthday. When you think of those statistics as a parent you can only feel fear. Child molesters infiltrate our society and they stalk our children. Many children that are abused do not tell out of fear or not being believed or because they have been threatened. Our website has some information on behavioral signs of sexual abuse. If you suspect your child has been assaulted please calmly talk to your child and reassure them that it is ok to tell you about it. This may take some convincing and a lot of love. You can also seek help from a professional.
A child that has been sexually abused needs the help of a professional. Children that do not get help often have some severe problems later in life. Some examples include depression, anorexia, bulimia, alcohol and drug abuse, promiscuity, early pregnancy, cutting, and suicidal ideation. Childhood sexual abuse causes indescribable pain for the victim. Victims need their parents to stand up and fight for them, to be patient with them, and they need understanding. Professional intervention can and will make a huge difference in the lives of these innocent victims. Read about catching child molesters.
