What Is Childhood Sexual Abuse?

Childhood sexual abuse is described as when someone who is an adult uses power over a child or young person, to involve or force the child into a sexual act. Children are protected under the laws and moral codes. For this reason, there is no consent for a child to participate in a sexual act with an adult. An abuser of children can convince and manipulate a child into participating in a sexual act, but the child is unwilling to follow the adult down this course. Children in our society may be told to “mind their elders,” and many children listen to trusted adults without knowing that anything is wrong with what the adults are asking them to do.

Children can be touched during sexual acts with a manipulating adult. A child can be sexually abused by the adult interacting sexually with the child with:

• Fondling
• Genital stimulation
• Mutual masturbation
• Oral sex with the child
• Using fingers to penetrate the child
• Penis inserted into the child
• Objects inserted in to the vagina or anal area of the child

Abusers Abuse Their Privileges in Having Access to Minor Children in Afterschool Programs

An adult who is a sexual offender will abuse the privilege to be close to a child in an afterschool program or extracurricular program. Children can be sexually assaulted in programs such as:

• Afterschool programs for sports
• Church related programs
• Religious related programs
• Programs for local child participation
• Programs for camp
• Field trip programs

A child can feel special or wanting of attention, and the sexual offender can take advantage of this with a child who otherwise feels unwanted or misunderstood. These sexual offenders will groom children, by offering them:

• Special attention
• Special gifts
• Higher status among the other children the group
• Special helper status
• Special outings
• Fulfilling the child’s unmet social needs
• Treating the child as more mature or older than the child really is at the time

Childhood Sexual Abuse Victims Often Develop Eating Disorders or Become Obese as Adults

Some children and young adults who are sexually assaulted can develop an eating disorder such as anorexia. Other children as a result of being sexually assaulted can become obese. The children who are obese can often use food as a way to comfort their feelings of low self-esteem after being sexually assaulted. Either way, sexually assaulted children can develop an eating disorder as a result of the sexual abuse suffered in their childhood.

Children Who Are Sexually Abused Often Keep the Secret

When an adult abuses a child sexually, the child will often keep the secret of the abuse from other family members or adults. Children who are sexually abused often feel ashamed over the abuse. Therefore, they are reticent to talk to anyone else about what is happening with the offender adult. Children are often embarrassed to tell anyone regarding the details of a sexual abuse.

Even when children are too young to understand what is happening, they innately know that it is “wrong.” This is the reason that children will not tell anyone of the abuse, or may even tell untruths regarding the abuse to hide the abuse of the offender. If the sexual offender has threatened the child with bodily harm, or to harm the child’s family, the child may feel justified not to tell anyone of the abuse being perpetrated on the child.
