Hi, I hope I can help you. If a child is being sexually abused, obviously, the poor child will not speak up. If you are close to a child who you personally think is being sexually abused, you have to tell the child that they are not alone and that they can tell you anything. But please do NOT jump to conclusions and do NOT say anything unless you are very sure about it. A child who is being sexually abused may act jumpy or a bit frightened. They might like to spend time alone, a sign of depression. They might not to things which an ordinary child does, and they might act or sound weird. Please be sure about what you do and your actions, because remember, this is just advice. If you want to seek more professional advice, get help. Good Luck :) PS: Do NOT jump to conclusions

Answer

If the child is upset when left with the father or has a hard time readjusting to being back at home, it may be normal behavior to changes in environment. Urinary infections may be caused by inappropriate contact, but that is not the only cause. If the child acts out sexually beyond its age, visit your pediatrician for advice. If possible - without accusations - kept an eye out during visits, particularly if the child is reluctant. No one should have more physical contact than they are comfortable with, even if it is a hug, or sitting on a lap.

For children there are a number of signs, known as "indicators" that may indicate, but are not in themselves proof, that sexual assault may have taken place. These are behavioral indicators such as sexual themes in the child's artwork, stories or play, fear of going home, sleep disturbances and nightmares. Physical indicators of child sexual abuse include bruises, bleeding or other physical trauma, sexually transmitted diseases or pregnancy. Indicators in adults can include low self-esteem, poor body image, fear, anxiety, sadness and depression.

According to the National Children's Advocacy Foundation, there are both physical and indicators of abuse. Several of these would apply if a child is being abused by his father. For more information, please visit the related link.

  • Unexplained bruises (in various stages of healing)
  • Evidence of delayed or inappropriate treatment for injuries
  • Arrives at school early or stays late as if afraid to be at home
  • Chronic runaway (adolescents)
  • Wary of adult contact
  • Unattended medical needs
  • Consistent lack of supervision
  • Consistent hunger, inappropriate dress, poor hygiene
  • Reports that no caretaker is at home

Some signs that prove a child is experiencing abuse is that the child is becoming withdrawn from friends, flinches at loud noises, is extremely compliant, comes to school or activities late and then does not want to leave the activity.
