There are several reasons why boys don't report being sexually abused. First, boys are taught from an early age that men should not allow themselves to be victims and that they are suppose to prevent that from happening to him. Second, until very recently, there were no men publicly talking about having been sexually abused so most boys being sexually abused believe they are all alone in what is happening to them. Finally, those that do tell are often not believed because those they tell either don't believe that boys can be sexually abused or they believe that no male would allow themselves to be sexually abused. Sadly, 1 in 6 boys will be sexually abused by their 18th birthday.

Some teens may not report abuse because they are embarrassed, others may not because they are scared. Always remember, if you are being abused, please let a responsible adult that you trust know so that they can help you.

Some people don't think it's abuse, believe it or not. Other's don't want to interfere, and still others just don't want to face facts and deal with it.

How does a child get in foster care?

The local child welfare agency removes the child from the home due to abuse, neglect or abandonment. The agency may learn of the abuse by a report from a doctor or teacher, or a call by a concerned citizen to a hotline. Sometimes an older child will report the abuse or neglect themselves.


How do you find who calls you?

You can't. Reporting child abuse is anonymous, to encourage people to report what they see, hear, or know first-hand about a child's well-being.
