Jim is accused by his ex-girlfriend's mother, Sara, of sexually molesting his 4-year-old daughter Katie. Sara says Katie told her that "my daddy do that" when touching herself. Jim denies the allegations. On the Dr. Phil show, Jim takes a lie detector test and Sara and Latia, Jim's ex-girlfriend, confront him on stage. Latia admits she has no proof but believes her daughter, though she has never seen Jim harm Katie. The discussion becomes heated as Jim maintains his innocence.
Children and women, college bound and overall as a gender are the most vulnerable members of our societies to sexual abuse. Here are some important guidelines that we should inculcate in our children to help protect them.
The document discusses sexual abuse of children and the rights of children according to the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child. Specifically, it states that every child has the right to be protected from sexual abuse, which is defined as anybody doing anything to a child's body that they do not want, such as touching, taking pictures, or making them say things they do not want to. It also notes Philippine law (PD603) makes it a crime for parents to inflict cruel and unusual punishment on children or subject them to indignities and excessive chastisement.

This document presents some contrarian hypotheses about internet safety messaging and its effectiveness. The author argues that most internet safety education lacks attributes of successful prevention programs and may be ineffective. Messages about not sharing personal information, talking to strangers, or sending sexual images online are complex with unclear definitions and changing contexts. Prevention programs work best with simple, clear messages conveyed through multiple sources and repetition. The internet may actually help reduce some offline risks like bullying, delinquency, and victimization by allowing alternative activities and earlier risk detection. More research is needed to properly evaluate internet risks and the impact of safety education programs.
Impact of Sexual Assault On Teens and Tips For PreventionHealth Easy Peasy

Sexual abuse threatens children's well-being, education, and career goals. It refers to unwanted sexual contact or activity and can include kissing, touching, rape or attempting rape of someone unable or unwilling to consent. Victims often experience low self-esteem, depression, guilt, sleep issues, lack of trust, and difficulty with intimacy. International statistics show hundreds of thousands of reported sexual abuse cases annually. Local statistics in Trinidad and Tobago ranged from 17.7% to 25.5% reported cases between 2004-2009.

Juvenile sexual offender and their victims 2014Mdunnam
This document discusses child abuse and sexual abuse, including the effects on victims, statistics, offender characteristics and behaviors. Some key points:
- An estimated 60 million Americans are survivors of childhood sexual abuse, which can cause long-term emotional and psychological damage.
- Approximately 80,000 cases of child sexual abuse are reported annually in the US.
- Child sexual abusers exhibit a range of behaviors, from non-contact crimes to penetration. Many offenders are juveniles themselves.
- Effects on victims can include fear, depression, poor self-esteem and substance abuse. Disclosure of abuse is often delayed due to victims feeling ashamed or afraid.
This document defines child sexual abuse and outlines its characteristics. Child sexual abuse occurs when a more powerful person uses a less powerful child for sexual gratification. There are two categories of abuse - non-touching such as exposure to pornography, and touching such as fondling or intercourse. Abusers often groom their victims gradually to gain their trust before abusing them. Victims may experience physical effects like STIs as well as behavioral effects including depression, anxiety, and low self-esteem. Children are vulnerable targets because they fear losing love, feeling shame, or being blamed if they report the abuse. Education is key to preventing abuse and empowering children to come forward.
Children's interpretation of the abuse, whether or not they disclose the experience, and how quickly they report it also affects the short- and long-term consequences. Children who are able to confide in a trusted adult and who are believed experience less trauma than children who do not disclose the abuse. Furthermore, children who disclose the abuse soon after its occurrence may be less traumatized than those children who live with the secret for years.
I believe that Learning the facts about childhood sexual abuse helps to prevent it.
Talking about it helps to prevent it.
Getting involved helps to prevent it.

Research Goals and Objectives
To identify the current polices and practices of the criminal justice system and child protection system in the country to respond to child sexual abuse; and
To assess the institutional capacities currently available to protect children from sexual abuse
This document discusses child abuse, including the different types, statistics on prevalence, and resources for help. It covers emotional, physical, sexual abuse and neglect. Key points include that 150 million girls and 73 million boys experience sexual abuse globally each year, and the estimated annual cost of child abuse in Canada is between $3.6 billion to $500 million. The document emphasizes that abuse is never the victim's fault and provides resources like Kids Help Phone and local authorities for seeking help.
1) Sexual abuse occurs when an adult or person in a position of power takes advantage of a child's trust to involve them in sexual acts. It can involve non-contact behaviors like exposure to pornography or contact behaviors like touching or penetration.
2) Sexual abuse can be inflicted through insidious means like grooming to gain trust or forced acts like restraining a child. It can occur intermittently or recurrently.
3) Victims of sexual abuse experience a range of physical, emotional, intellectual, and spiritual impacts. They may exhibit behavioral warning signs but none are definitive proof of abuse on their own.
In response to growing concern about accountability in our communities, Cherry Hill Seminary has released a free media presentation called Don't Look Away: Recognizing & Responding to Abuse for Non-Professionals.
Don't Look Away was created to help individuals and small groups better understand the nature of sexual abuse and appropriate ways to respond, as well as what to do if you have been abused, yourself.
"So many of us, unless we are a professional trained in such matters, don't really know what to do or not do when we are confronted with possible abuse," said Executive Director Holli Emore. "For far too long, we have either not recognized the signs of abuse among us, or we have looked away, assuming, hoping, that someone else will take care of the problem. But those problems don't go away by themselves."
Don't Look Away is intended for a general, public audience; that is, it is not a scholarly piece. It is simple, direct and to the point. The additional resource links enable the viewer to pursue further information, if they wish. Cherry Hill Seminary also offers extensive coursework in ethics, pastoral counseling, and related issues.

Children as young as 5 are prostituted, with many raped by 8-15 men per night in brothels. While prostitution is illegal, weak law enforcement and sex tourism continue to drive demand. UNICEF and other organizations advocate for victims and work to prevent further abuse and trafficking of children.

Child sexual abuse is a serious problem in Pakistan that causes psychological, physical, and social harm. According to a recent report, over 1,300 children in Pakistan experienced some form of sexual abuse from January to June 2019. Children from low socioeconomic backgrounds, with disabilities, or in unstable family situations are most at risk.

side of the river where Sonia lived. The river that
separated the two lovers was teeming with man-eating
crocodiles. Sonia wanted to cross the river to be with
Greg. Unfortunately, the bridge had been washed out. So
she went to ask Jose, a boatman, to take her across. But
the look in his eyes frightened Sonia, so she went to her
friend Bong and explained her plight to him. Bong did not
want to be involved at all in the situation. Sonia felt that
her only alternative was to take the boat, even though
she did not trust Jose.

When the boat was already in the middle of the river,
Jose told Sonia that he couldn’t control himself and he
wanted to make love to her. When Sonia refused, he
threatened to throw her overboard. But if she complied,
he said he would deliver her safely to the other side.
Sonia did not want to be eaten alive by the crocodiles,
but she didn’t see any alternative for herself, so she did
not resist Jose. Jose gratified his desire for Sonia, then
delivered her to the other shore where Greg lived.

SONIA’S STORY
When Sonia told Greg what had happened, he blamed her
because of the way she dressed. He saw her as unclean
and cast her aside with disdain. Heartsick and dejected,
Sonia turned to Lito, a karate black-belter. Lito felt anger
for Greg and compassion for Sonia. He sought out Greg
and beat him brutally. Sonia was overjoyed at the sight of
Greg getting his due. As the sun sets on the horizon, we
hear Sonia laughing at Greg.
