This week for my quality tool I decided to research sexual abuse in children. I decided on this topic because alot of children are affected by this type of abuse and alot of adults can't identify the symptoms. Mothers need to be careful with whom they leave their children with and this includes the child's father because facts prove that most perpetrator is often a male family member, family friend, or neighbor who has access to the child or has authority over the child. A prime example is today's breaking news-a father molested and allowed two of his friends to rape his 3 year old daughter. I did not know that lices were a good indicator for sexual abuse. Facts state that lice in eyelashes prompt an ivestigation of sexual abuse as only pubic lice infest the eyelashes. Mothers need to become more aware of their children behaviors around certain people and educate their child on sexual abuse. This article provides many tips on how to identify and prevent your child from being a statistic.
