Truth That Hurts......



Studies on Child Abuse and the facts...........................................................

• Confusing the experience for the child is damaging to the psycho-sexual development, which is usually lacking underneath.
• Sexually abused children are usually more emotionally immature than their peers.
• Over 90% of Sexual predators are ,male.
• Children are the victims, but are still socially stigmatized, not only from their on guilt, but from peers, neighbors and family, which further distorts the child's perspective on self on relations.
• Secondary Traumatization the family process  is where the child is not believed and is actually held responsible for the abuse which causes secondary damages and long term behavioral problems noted later in life.
• Secondary Traumatization the individual process is where the victim displays the sexual behaviors or victim behaviors throughout life, which makes them  more vulnerable and unable to protect themselves from the consequences of their own behaviors; such as sexualized communication and victim messages. (Which leads to entirely new cycles of secondary victimizations and abused.
• Secondary damages can also be cause by an over competent professional as well, by the professional intervening at the wrong context. Therefore leaving long term effects of unsuccessful unethical interventions.
• Secondary damages are also the consequence of non-interventions, this is when the child’s attempts to receive help are denied, either by the protective parent or trusted adult social structure.  Often interlocking the syndrome of secrecy & in addition making the abused child further live full of guilt and shame, that was never theirs to bare.

Dealing with a severely damaged individual in a professional aspect is a serious and consequently life altering way, the multi-professional must always take in mind that it is their legalities and should focus on the patient with human rights and health aspects about procedures and patient rights.

*Treatment of the complexities in the effects of sexual child abuse is something a person must not take light hearted, not only should the person have personal experience in this area, but also have much empathy in perspective the victim may perceive them to direct the blame

*Secondary damages from non-intervention can also be self caused, as to the victim doesn't trust herself to no who to trust and this causes her to never attempt to get help for recovering from the extensive damages lingering from the abuse.
