What are signs that a 3 yr old has been or is being touched inappropriately?I need to know plzz........?

Answer 1

He can be acting out when he would have normally dealt with a situation differently, he is talking about his or other ppls privates or is touching himself and others, if he is afraid at night or doesn't want to sleep alone anymore, wets his bed or clothes,is afraid of strangers or acts out or is really quiet around someone he knows that he once seemed to like or goes on raging mean streaks and hits and hurts you,siblings,ets. Acting out and hurting others is his unconcious way of saying he has been hurt or scared bad and he is needing help. Please contact me if you need to talk. I have experience in this horrible situation. You might gently check his private parts and see if there is damage. But be careful and talk to him about what you are about to do. If he has wet himself tell him you need to check if everything is ok because he doesn't usually do that, he doesn't need to told what the real reason is until you are sure. Then take him to a dr.and get him ckd good for internal damage.God bless you and him. Keep him safe and well loved and have patience with him but still firm about bad behavior-he can't get away wilth it even if he is hurting.

Answer 2

My friends 3 year old was being touched innapropriately also by her father during his visitation. My friend was reading her daughter a book and afterwards asked her if anybody ever touches her "down there". She said yes and told her mom, in detail, what happened. If your child says that anyone has touched he/she in ANY perverted way please take your child immediately to the Emergency Room. They will examine her and will call DFS and file a report. These reports are very important in prosecuting whomever is doing the touching. My friends daughter was really misbehaving before hand and seemed very angry especially to her mom. Hope this helps.

Answer 3

Watch their general demeanor. Are they playing with their dolls (like a barbie) inappropriately? (like acting out sexual motions, etc.) Are they just acting out in general? Bed wetting or other wetting could be a sign.

How verbal is the child? That also could be a factor. When in doubt, take them to the pediatrician, an exam could help.

Answer 4

Common signs of abuse are nightmares, not wanting to be alone, regressing, eating problems, aggressiveness, bed wetting, and withdrawing from activities that they normally would enjoy (to list a few). I'm sure you know this but children are more often abused by family members and close friends of the family. Here's a link for more sings of abuse. http://www.protectkids.com/abuse/abusesigns.htm

Talk with your child about appropriate and inappropriate touching. You may want to tell them that if someone tries to touch him in a way that makes him feel “bad” or “funny” to tell you or an adult. Explain to your child that his/her body is his/her body and it is okay if they do not want someone touching it. I get so angry at people when they force their child to hug or kiss an adult. It pushes them to do something they do not feel comfortable with and teaches them to do something an adult says to do even if they do not like it. I often tell a story to my preschool students that I once had an uncle who would tickle me and would not stop when I told him “No!” I tell them that when I told my mom she talked with him and he stopped. This helps them see that telling an adult will help. Hope this helps!

Answer 5

They may not like you helping them where they feel you may touch...they may act out the same act on a toy (the act being what someone is doing to them)...the child may not want to be around or left with the abuser...acting out ...peeing the bed or pants when they were potty trained anything odd needs to be looked into

Answer 6

Regression (ie acting like a baby) is one sign

Preforming sexual acts with their toys- making out, or touching them inappropriately, things of that nature

Best thing to do is take your child to the pediatrician, they will give you the best advice.

Answer 7

if you think you know the person who did it, never let them alone with your child. Even if you're "wrong" better that than sorry.

If he has full sentences, comprehension (my two and a half yearold doesn't sometimes) ask him "did so and so touch your bits" (I dunno if its a boy or girl), and he can say yes or no, or ask them to show you where they touched you on a doll or something (its what they do in court).

If they did, have them arrested, and thrown in jail. Just call the cops, and have that person taken away.

Anymore questions just e-mail me (I'm a parent too, and this is a REAL BIG fear of mine)

Answer 8

Maybe ask him/her in a nice way if anyone has done anything. Children that age are very naive. God, if you asked that question, you must have some suspecions. I really hope things will work out and that nothing actually happened. That is horrible. Best wishes. Good luck.

Answer 9

If you ever suspect anything like this is going on you should take him/her to emergency room they will be able to tell. I have a three yr. old and we tell her her privates are a special area that no one touches, even when she is bathing we let her wash herself they are old enough now if you explain to them that no one touches them in their area, and if they do they should tell mommy or daddy.

Answer 10
