Sexual Child Abuse

People who sexually abuse adolescents should not only be punished to the fullest extent of the law, but also be terminated from all children, even their own; because it robs the adolescent of their adulthood and their precious quality of youth, which not only causes them to grow up faster, but also causes damage to their physical and mental conditions. Sexual abuse is unwanted sexual abuse. There are different types of sexual abuse. Most people think rape is the only type of sexual abuse but the truth is there are different kinds but the kinds that will be discussed are molestation and rape.
Molestation is the first type of sexual abuse that’ll be discussed. Molestation is a form of child abuse in which an adult or older adolescent uses a child for sexual stimulation. Most people think sexual abusers are strangers to their victims. But the truth is most abusers know their victims and use their stand in their relationship to try to make the victims do what the abusers want them to do. Most children who get molest are by family members. “More than 90 percent of juvenile sexual abuse victims know their perpetrator in some way.” (Snyder, Howard). According to Dr. Elizabeth Forsyth and Margret Hyde, research done in the 1980s and 1990s suggests that almost all abusers are males who are known to their victims and that most abuse occurs within the family. (pg. 21) One in three girls and one in five boys get sexually abused before the age of eighteen. (Arta, C)
The other type of sexual abuse that’ll be discussed is rape. Rape is the force of having sexual intercourse upon a person to please your sexual desires. There are three different types ...

Try to avoid them as much as possible even if you might have to ignore their phone call. The most important part in healing is making sure you continue to do the things you love, like hobbies.
Now, the victims has been discussed and how they can try to prevent sexual assault, the signs of it and the short and long term effects of the victims and how they can heal or recover from sexual abuse. Now the punishment for the abusers will be discussed.

  • The Severity of Child Sexual Abuse

    1021 Words  | 3 Pages

    Child abuse, while having many different forms and levels of severity, can be basically defined as the maltreatment of a child by a parent or other adult. When one thinks of child abuse, usually the first thing that comes to mind is physical harm, but the issue is actually much more complex. The abuse of a child can also be manifested in verbal and emotional forms, as well as in sexual molestation. All forms of child abuse generally result in similar emotional disorders and behavioral issues, but the major consequences of sexual abuse, such as mental or emotional scarring, promiscuity, and the tendency of former victims to become sexual abusers, cause it to be the most severely damaging form of child abuse.

  • The Heinous Act of Child Sexual Abuse

    3140 Words  | 7 Pages

    Although the heinous act of child sex abuse (CSA) carries no universal definition, the features that usually constitute such abuse is the presence of a dominant adult who may force or coerce a child into any form of physical or non-physical sexual exploitation. Attempts have been made to catergorise the various levels of abuse that can occur which include; non-contact, genital touching, attempted penetration and the act of penetration (Martin & Silverstone, 2013). Despite accurate attempts in the catergorisation of abuse, these same attempts were produced alongside the argument that the majority of CSA occurs “below the surface” and echoes a widely held misconception that, child sex abuse remains an invisible crime. Social attitudes and a lack of a collective definition of child sexual abuse may help to conceal the true scope of the problem; as no universally recognised understanding keeps the nature of the issue ambiguous (Crooks & Baur, 1996). The notion that child abuse is one of the most hidden and invisible crimes of the contemporary civilised society; has slowly become one that is dated (D. Nanjunda, 2008). Many academic studies find difficulty in determining the true prevalence of CSA, because of the contrasting methodological techniques adopted by various researchers; such as the analytical model by Summit (1983) and Budin and Johnsons (1989) work, all informed by contrasting sets of data (Gilbert et al 2009). With such difficulties it would be detrimental to the area of study, to make bold assertions that 95% of CSA is never disclosed or occurs “below the surface” as Martin & Silverstone (2013) argued in their research. It is detrimental as discussed previous; assertions made from conflicting research will report a false...

    According to the National Center for Victims of Crime: Child Sexual Abuse Statistics, “1 in 5 girls and 1 in 20 boys is a victim of child sexual abuse.” Sexual abuse in adolescents is running rampant in today’s society, but has been depicted in literature for many years. Though literature has displayed this abuse as a cause in need of fixing, many people remain ignorant to the efforts used in trying to prevent such acts on adolescents. This ignorance may be a result of a secondary viewing on the situation at hand, which has shifted the tides to primarily first-hand experiences in writing as being accurate.

    Sexual abuse is a forced act of sexual behavior usually done out of the want of power, control, and feel of being superior. The child may be manipulated by violence of force, enticement, or threat. There are different theories stating the factors that may cause there to be a higher chance of sexual abuse but many of the times the child naturally cooperates because of the trust or love they have for the adult. Sexual abuse can be done from a blood relative which is known as the nuclear family that is called interfamilial abuse, including, older brothers, sisters, uncles, aunts, cousins, grandfathers, stepfathers, or live in boyfriends.

    There are so many things that I have never found really interesting to me or at least something that could make me want to try and change it. I still don’t understand why people want to hurt kids. This is not something that should be a norm in our culture, but it is. This should be changed instead of just letting it happen sure it is going to be hard to charge, but there are still things that we can do to help kids that have gone through it and their parents. It also does depend on who abused them then they can go to jail. There are still things that we do not have a real understanding as to what sexual abuse is in general. It is not a well-known topic unless some has been abused. We assume that the victim is to blame them for what happened to them, but it is not their fault. We blame people because we do not want to see the perpetrator as the one who should be in trouble. In this case we do not have the knowledge as to what sexual abuse really is. The definition of sexually abuse is a sex act that is non-consensual and this could be anything. This does not mean that consensual sex is

Globally, prevalence rates show that a range of 7-36% of women and 3-29% of men experience sexual abuse in childhood (The Scope of, 2016). “The U.S Department of Health and Human Services’ Children’s Bureau report child maltreatment 2010 found that 9.2% of victimized children were sexually assaulted” (Child Sexual Abuse,

    Education on Child Sexual Abuse in Elementary Schools Every day, a child is sexually abused by someone, likely someone they trust, and many of them are unaware that what is happening to them is even considered wrong.
