What do you do when you find out your 5 year old has been touched inappropriately?

If you believe your child has been sexually abused you should NOT discuss it with hm. If you do and your concerns are founded you can be accused of "coaching" him by the defense. Tell your little boy that nobody but Mom, Dad and the Dr are allowed to touch where his underwear or swimming suit cover, and ONLY if he needs help with something there.

(It is a good idea to use the right words for his body parts.) This part of his body is "private" and nobody else is allowed to touch him there. Also tell him he is not allowed to touch anywhere that is covered by a swimming suit or underwear on another person. Tell him he should always tell you if someone asks for this kind of touching.

If HE brings something up you tell him you are glad he told you and that you will call a nice police officer to tell about it. There are specially trained officers who will question him about the alleged abuse. The most important thing is that you don't ask leading questions or push him to talk if he doesn't want to.

Use child-friendly words and use a model asking him where he was touched. Then explain to him why that's bad. I know he is way to young, but I remembered when I was in 5th grade, we watched a video of a kid being sexually attacked by his uncle and how he solved the problem.

I am not sure where that link is, but some people might know where it is...

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
