Answer 1

Wikipedia defines sexual abuse, as under:-

Sexual abuse (also referred to as molestation) is defined by the forcing of undesired sexual acts by one person to another. The term incest is defined as sexual abuse between family members, and the slang term "bad touch" is used to describe such abuse.

Different types of sexual abuse involve:

Non-consensual, forced physical sexual behavior such as rape or sexual assault
Psychological forms of abuse, such as verbal sexual behavior or stalking.
The use of a position of trust for sexual purposes.

Many countries have been consious of this problem and the gravity of the consequences of child abuse on the victims. There are hot lines in place to receive complaints from the affected.

How to deal with child abuse?

When a child tells an adult that he or she has been sexually abused, the adult may feel uncomfortable and may not know what to say or do. The following guidelines should be used when responding to children who say they have been sexually abused:

What to Say
If a child even hints in a vague way that sexual abuse has occurred, encourage him or her to talk freely. Don't make judgmental comments.

Show that you understand and take seriously what the child is saying. Child and adolescent psychiatrists have found that children who are listened to and understood do much better than those who are not. The response to the disclosure of sexual abuse is critical to the child's ability to resolve and heal the trauma of sexual abuse.
Assure the child that they did the right thing in telling. A child who is close to the abuser may feel guilty about revealing the secret. The child may feel frightened if the abuser has threatened to harm the child or other family members as punishment for telling the secret.
Tell the child that he or she is not to blame for the sexual abuse. Most children in attempting to make sense out of the abuse will believe that somehow they caused it or may even view it as a form of punishment for imagined or real wrongdoings.
Finally, offer the child protection, and promise that you will promptly take steps to see that the abuse stops.
What to Do
Report any suspicion of child abuse. If the abuse is within the family, report it to the local Child Protection Agency. If the abuse is outside of the family, report it to the police or district attorney's office. Individuals reporting in good faith are immune from prosecution. The agency receiving the report will conduct an evaluation and will take action to protect the child.

Parents should consult with their pediatrician or family physician, who may refer them to a physician who specializes in evaluating and treating sexual abuse. The examining doctor will evaluate the child's condition and treat any physical problem related to the abuse, gather evidence to help protect the child, and reassure the child that he or she is all right.

Children who have been sexually abused should have an evaluation by a child and adolescent psychiatrist or other qualified mental health professional to find out how the sexual abuse has affected them, and to determine whether ongoing professional help is necessary for the child to deal with the trauma of the abuse. The child and adolescent psychiatrist can also provide support to other family members who may be upset by the abuse.

While most allegations of sexual abuse made by children are true, some false accusations may arise in custody disputes and in other situations. Occasionally, the court will ask a child and adolescent psychiatrist to help determine whether the child is telling the truth, or whether it will hurt the child to speak in court about the abuse.

When a child is asked as to testify, special considerations--such as videotaping, frequent breaks, exclusion of spectators, and the option not to look at the accused--make the experience much less stressful.

Adults, because of their maturity and knowledge, are always the ones to blame when they abuse children. The abused children should never be blamed.

When a child tells someone about sexual abuse, a supportive, caring response is the first step in getting help for the child and reestablishing their trust in adults.

Answer 2

Ok, what the hell dude? Im 19 and I know that that is some ****** up ****. He's actually emotionally sexualy abusing u. Its not actually sexual abuse bcoz he hasn't done anything physical. I say keep the f u c k away from this phsyco. U say ur 19 and u don't know any better? What the hell? Ask urself this, if u were over 50, would u be stalking an innocent teenager? Chances are ud say no to that. If anything did happen between u two, that would be classifie3d by most laws around the world as pedophilia! And I take it u know just how serious that is! This is some serious sht dude. Id say talk with ur bf or husband wateva, ur parents or a confidential counsellor avbout it. Talk talking to this freak! And better yet, yahoo answers probably isn't the best way to go. All ull get on here is d I c k heads who don't know what their on dude. Talk to someone confidentially. This guy is a physco dude. Stop talking to him its nasty 4 u and its disgusting. Ask ur self, would u allow ur children (if u were to have any) to do this? Ud be horrified.

Answer 3

If being a child, I wouldn't stand up though I'd probably tell my friends and hopefully word would spread and something would be done. Takes a lot of courage to speak up by yourself and I don't think I have that. If I were in my teens, I might probably think I can deal with it and start flunking school at the same time, though not telling anyone. As an adult, no way would I put up with it.

Answer 4

That's impossible to guess. Most people will keep it hidden and develop a problem later in life because of it. 99% of abusers were abused as children. The best thing for eveyone to do is create an atmosphere where people can easily come forward with no judgement or cross-examining. The abuser may use psychological games to prevent the child exposing them. If it happened to me when I was a child I might not have known what was going on. If a child has been educated in what is ok/not for adults to do, and what to do if abuse happens, then they may come forward, if not, there's a slimmer chance.

Answer 5

Well, I am 24 now and would never let something like that happen to myself. The problem is that adults don't get molested, children do, and children don't have enough courage most of the time to tell anyone that someone is hurting them.

Answer 6

Unfortunately, i have to admit that i didn't have the courage to say anything. it's scary, cuz you feel they wont believe you. Or I was afraid of the big deal my parents would make. i didn't want something like that to follow me forever. And i was already 19 and dating teh bastard who more than molested me. But now i realize i was an idiot and should've spoken up. it's the best thing to do. the more people stand up, the less it will happen.

Answer 7

I was molested as a child by my stepfather and I was threatened by my mother that if I told anyone, he would go to jail and then we would have no place to live, no food to eat, nothing. I had to lie my entire life about the incidents, but now I feel the need for revenge for him ruining my life. I had to grow up with the sick bastard! He deserves to pay. I now have PTSD and am bipolar because of him. It's sad how often it really does happen and people hear nothing about it.

Answer 8

as a child i too faced the situation.

i am thanking u for asking such a question which vents out our anger.

it was happened to me when i was a child of 5yr.at that moment i dont know what it is.(but not fully)

but i remember the situation and when i came to know that i was abused i feel bad.but the situation is out of my control bcz i dint even remember the person who did it.

and i am requesting all the parents to safeguard the child carefully when they r too little and let them know the facts while they came to puberty.

only when they know wat is happening to them they may revolt or escape or some thing they do.

Answer 9

I'll remind him/her that you too have the family members like me if the same thing will happen with them then how do you feel think twice me at that point of view

Answer 10

as a child I was molested, I was afraid and embarrassed. If it happened today I am not sure if I would be any braver.
