Recognizing Sexual Abuse

Frequently Asked Questions About Sexual Abuse

From

Question:

How will I know if my child is a victim? The thought that my child might actually be a victim and I might not know it is very worrisome to me.

Answer:

The reality is that some instances of child sexual abuse never do come to light. However, the better informed you are about what to look for, the better the chance that you can know and be able to help your child. Trust your instincts; you know your child best. Any change in behavior that concerns you is worth evaluating.
