Having your child sexually abused is probably one of the worst things you could have ever imagined as a parent. This can catch you off guard and you'll find yourself unsure of what you should do, how do you protect your child?

There is no sure way to confirm if they’ve been sexually abused simply by observing their behavior, but there are some signs you can look out for in your child. Keep in mind that some of these symptoms may have been caused by other things. 

It’s hard for many people, especially parents/caregivers, to understand why their child did not say anything about the abuse to them.

Anyone under the age of 18 is considered a child for the purpose of discussing child sexual abuse.

Trauma doesn't refer to specific events but more so to your individual reactions to event(s) or circumstance(s).
