The issue of child sexual abuse has become a rampant case in our world today, there are too many victims of child sexual abuse and not enough people are aware. "Children are incredibly vulnerable to rejection, criticism and anger at home, and they deserve to grow up in an environment of safety, acceptance and warmth" Dr James Dobson.
MEANING OF CHILD SEXUAL ABUSE
Child sexual abuse is a kind of child abuse when an adult or someone else with power makes a child do any kind of sexual activity, including kissing and hugging.
FORMS OF CHILD SEXUAL ABUSE
1: Engaging in sexual activities with a child whether by asking or pressuring, or by any other means.
2: Indecent exposure (of the genitive, female nipples etc).
3: child grooming
4: Using a child to produce child phonographs.
1in 6 children are sexually abused and 78% do not tell, maybe because of the fear that no one will believe them. The most painful part of this is that up to 90% of child targets are abused by someone they know or trust and we fail to believe them when they come to us. The way we talk to our children becomes their inner voice. Believe the child until you prove otherwise. The first time they tell you may be the only time.
People ask" how can a person abuse a child"? Now my question is "how can so many good people not do anything about it"?.
Thinking about the emotional trauma sexual abuse causes to an adult talk more of a kid; they can take a lifetime trying to forget what happened for a few minutes in their childhood. The bruises they might get during this act will definitely go away but the pain will never go.
We all have the power to stop child abuse so why not use it. There's no good enough excuse for child abuse, it shouldn't hurt to be a kid. DO NOT KEEP CALM...SAY NO TO CHILD SEXUAL ABUSE TODAY.
Yes, this is very very sadly an enormous reality in our world today. There is more awareness happening, but not fast enough. Thank you for writing this article. Here is a recent article exposing the enormous amount in Texas alone: http://www.wakingtimes.com/2018/01/19/human-trafficking-off-charts-texas-state-attorney-general-produced-documentary-alert-public/
child abuse is one issue that is becoming rampant in the society, strict punishment should be given to this people.
