Female Child Molesters
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.
