Child Sexual Abuse Attorney
Parents should teach their
children about the private
parts of their bodies and
tell them that if anyone
tries to touch them in a
way that makes them feel
uncomfortable, they should
say NO and then tell a parent
or an adult they trust right
away. It is important that
parents discuss this with
their children. One of the
best times to do this is
while your child is enrolled
in an abuse prevention program.

Parents should ensure that
there is such a program in
their children's schools
and encourage the school
to start one if none exists.
Parents should listen when
their children try to talk
to them about something,
especially when it seems
difficult for them to do
so. It is also important
that parents teach their
children that respect for
a person does not mean doing
everything the person tells
them to do. Parents should
be aware of who their children
are spending time with and
be careful about allowing
them to go to remote places
with adults or older adolescents.
Making surprise visits to
caregivers or to programs
their children attend regularly
may help prevent them from
becoming victims or may alert
parents to a problem. If
you are a parent of a child
that has been sexually abused
or if you think that your
child is being sexually abused
in any way, you should contact
a law firm immediately.
It is critical that you take
what your child says seriously
because when children's requests
for help are ignored, they
may not risk telling again
out of embarrassment or fear,
which can keep them in harm’s
way for months or years to
come. People feel particularly
betrayed when priests, family
members or friends they considered
among the most trustworthy
of people violate that trust
and abuse their power to
take advantage of those most
vulnerable. Often, when parents
find that the abuser is someone
very close to them, they
want to take the matter into
their own hands. However,
parents are almost always
unsuccessful when they try
to stop it on their own.
If you suspect that you,
your children, or other children
have been victims, it is
critical that you report
it to the authorities and
specifically to your local
child support agency as soon
as possible.
Recent reports indicate that
despite the thousands who
reported the abuse they
experienced as a result
of the church sex abuse scandal
and systematic cover-up
revealed in 2002, there are
still many more who have
kept silent. Research indicates
that there may be as many
as 60 times the number
of victims for every victim
who reports abuse. When one
victim reports misconduct,
it may help prevent dozens
more from prolonged abuse
or from ever being abused.
It is important that parents
confront the problem and
recognize that they and their
families will need to deal
with the issue. Sexually
abused children and their
families require immediate
professional evaluation and
treatment. Your child's pediatrician
may be a helpful resource
for support at this time.
Psychiatrists and psychologists
can help abused children
regain their self-esteem,
cope with feelings of guilt
and begin the process of
healing.
