Signs of Child Molestation
When a child has been sexually molested, they are often hesitant to come forward and tell you about their experience. Children often feel ashamed or embarrassed or have been threatened with harm if they tell their parents. There are signs that a parent should be alert to that could indicate that your child has been the victim of sexual abuse, molestation or assault :
- Physical indicators such as difficulty walking or sitting
- Nightmares
- Aggressive behavior
- Depression
- Eating problems
- Mood swings
- Suicidal thoughts
- Fear of certain people or places
- Acting out sexual behaviors or using adult language
- Talks about a special new friend that is an older person
- Attachment problems
These are only some of the noticeable signs of child molestation. It is also important to note that these signs do not necessarily mean child molestation is present.
