In child sex abuse, an adult or older adolescent uses a child for sexual stimulation. It includes asking or pressuring a child to engage in sexual activities, indecent exposure of the genitals and female nipples to a child with intent to fulfill own sexual desires, using a child to produce child pornography etc. Child sexual abuse has been reported up to 80,000 times a year, but the number of unreported instances is far greater because the children are afraid to tell anyone what has happened. The effects of child sexual abuse can cause depression, mental disorder anxiety and many other problems. Child may exhibit various learning and behavioural problems including cruelty to animals, thumb-sucking or bed-wetting etc. Most sexual abuse offenders are acquainted with their victims and their family.
Sexual abuse by a family member is a form of incest and can result in more serious problems, especially in the case of parental incest. Most child sexual abuse is committed by men. Women also commit it.
The typical advice "Don't Talk to Strangers" doesn't apply in this case. Most sexual offenders are acquainted. Do not instruct children to give relatives hugs and kisses. Let them express affection on their own terms.Teach them basic sexual education and no one should touch the "private body organs". A health professional can also help to communicate sex education to children if parents are uncomfortable doing so. Develop strong communication skills with your children. Encourage them to ask questions and talk about their experiences. Explain the importance of reporting abuse to you or another trusted adult.Teach your children that sexual advances from adults are wrong and against the law. Give them the confidence to assert themselves against any adult who attempts to abuse them.
Make an effort to know children's friends and their families. Instruct your child to never get into a car with anyone without your permission. It is important to remember that physical force is often not necessary to engage a child in sexual activity. Children are trusting and dependent and will often do what is asked of them to gain approval and love.
Child sex abuse is a crime under the ‘The Protection of Children from Sexual Offences Act, 2012'.
