Signs & Symptoms of Sexual Abuse in Children

Child sexual abuse is exposing children to sexual activity. Forms of child sexual abuse are forcing a child into activities such as fondling, intercourse, oral sex and pornography. Reports of child sexual abuse are common, with 80,000 reports per year, as of 2008, according to the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry. The number of times child sexual abuse actually occurs is much greater than what reports show because many children are afraid to tell.
