Signs & Symptoms of the Sexually Abused Child
|
Why Most Children Will More Than Likely Not Tell...
- Fear (Being Threatened & Manipulated)
- Love and/or Know the Person Abusing Them (Don't want their "loved one" to get into trouble; Want their Acceptance/Approval)
- Have been taught to respect Adults (Authority Figures)
- Thinks/Feels like everyone knows (That people can tell just from looking at them)
- Don’t want to Upset a Loved One
- To protect a loved one or pet from Abuse or Harm (i.e. Mom, Brother, Sister, Dog, etc...)
- Don’t Think Anyone will Believe Them (That's what they are being told)
- Fear of what a Loved One might do to the Abuser
- Feel it is a Private Matter that should not be talked about
- Think maybe its Normal; Happens to all Children
- Knows its Abnormal; Feel Very Alone; Thinks a Highly Unusual Thing
- They told someone once & was either not believed and/or not protected
NOBODY TALKS ABOUT THIS KIND OF THING...NOT EVEN ADULTS
IMPORTANT NOTE
For many children who do tell, they are either not believed and/or not
protected. Unfortunately, this in turn has the potential to shut down a
child about their abuse for a long time, if not permanently. Why would
that child ever tell again? Something to think about Adults!

Mission Statement & Contribution Form
|
By knowing all the reasons Why Most Children Will More Than Likely Not Tell Anyone. Sexual Predators
(Child Molesters & Pedophiles alike) are likely to use some or all of the following methods...
- Dominance
- Intimidation
- Manipulation
- Threats
- Instilling Fear
- Gaining Child's Trust and/or Love
- Playing on Emotional Needs of Child
- Displaying Affection & Care
- Offering Gifts
- Playing Games & Being Fun
- Brainwashing (aka Mind Control)
- Etc...
The lack of decision-making skills, knowledge and abilities of a Child (meaning Birth to 17 Years of Age) is what Sexual Predators take advantage of.
