Child Sexual Abuse Victims: How to Recognize the Signs and How to Help

Exposing one’s genitals to children or pressuring them for sex is sexual abuse. Using a child for pornography is also sexual abuse. Most sexual abusers know the child they abuse. They may be family friends, neighbors or babysitters. About one-third of abusers are related to the child. Most abusers are men. If you think a child may have been abused, it’s important to report it. READ MORE HERE

Jane LeMond Alvarez Says:
What I always found scarey was the fact that I did a survey when I conducted a series of police briefings. I asked all the officers to pick a partner. I asked them, “For the next 5 minutes, I’d like you to describe your genital organs using proper terminology.” I only waited about 30 seconds and said, “You all are professionals. You have been trained. AND, it was difficult for you. How must it be for the victims that you interview that have just been sexually assaulted?” If the very ones conducting the interviews are uncomfortable about their own sexuality, how are we going to help the victims?
