Child Sexual Abuse
In recent years, media accounts
o f children who have been sexually
molested have intensified. In many
cases, adults who were victim ized as
children have spoken up to tell hor­
rendous stories o f sexual abuse that
they were forced to endure w hile grow­
ing up. Often these cases involve c h il­
dren who were molested by respected
members o f the community noted for
exemplary devotion to helping oth­
ers. Sometimes the offenders are
employees o f churches, associations
and schools that have the responsibil­
ity for the safety o f the children in
their care.
The elim ¡nation and reduction o f
this abuse is the responsibility o f ev­
ery adult who comes into contact with
children. Parents and educators should
fam iliarize themselves w ith the most
current inform a tion about sexual
abuse to develop and implement ef­
fective prevention and early interven­
tion strategies.
