 I recently attended a conference on child sexual abuse (at CHOA). The information was well presented, but the topic and content was disheartening. Current statistics show that 1 in 10 children will experience child sexual abuse before their 18th birthday. (www.D2L.org) However, one amazing fact was shared: due to media awareness, prevention, and legal actions, child sexual abuse has decreased significantly for this generation (from 1 in 3 children in previous generations).
Child Sexual Abuse is defined as any sexual act between an adult and a minor or between two minors when one exerts power over the other; forcing, coercing, or persuading a child to engage in any type of sexual act, including non-contact acts such as exhibitionism, exposure to pornography, voyeurism, and communicating in a sexual manner by phone or Internet. The physical act of being abused is painful and scary. No one wants to be exposed to this kind of crisis. However, the emotional component of sexual abuse causes the lasting and ongoing trauma. |
