Child sexual abuse not limited to certain few T heN ational American Indian Court Judges Association recently released inform ation oh child sexhal abuse in Am erican com munities w ith the idea th at child sexual abuse can, be prevented through education and aw are ness.^Following is the first Qf a tw o-part series on th at report. Sexual abuse of children hap pens in all kinds of families and to all kinds of children—-rich families, poor families, Anglo families, Indian families. A nd it occurs in cities as' well as on reservations. It is when an adult “ uses” a child to satisfy a sexual need. It takes many forms and may involve physical force, it can involve varying degrees and kinds of physical contact and touching. It can alsobe totally noncontact. M any people think this type o f abuse is com m itted by a stranger but strangers account’ for only ab o u t five to ten per cent of child sexual abuse cases. Studies have show n th a t it is developed gradually with the offencer slowly preparing the child for the encounter. The abuser uses “time and tru st.” A fter gaining the trust of the child, threats can be used, such as: “If you tell y ourm other, you will m ake her unhappy. ” or “You will m ake the police lock TYPES O F C H ILD SEXUAL ABUSE NON-CONTACT: Does not involve touching Obscene calls Jokes Peeping Sexual propositions Child pornography Forcing child to watch sexual act or sexual violence MANIPULATIVE: Touching which appears non-hostile and which has been psychologically, rather than force fully, imposed on child Unwanted hugs, kisses Unwanted pinching, tickling French kissing Sexual positioning for photos Handling genitals Masturbation Mouth to genital contact AGGRESSIVE: Sexual activity in which a child is physically forced to participate Oral rape Vaginal rape Anal rape Sexual bondage Sexual maiming Most children who are sexually abused will, over time, experience more than one, and sometimes all, types of the abuse shown on the chart. The abuse will often begin with non-contact advances such as those listed in the upper right hand block and progress downward through the chart to subject the child to behaviors which involve increasingly more contact and greater violation. me tip.” A child will feel respon sible once the abuse has occurred and will feel they have “partici-' pated.” A child becomes cbnfused. In 90 percent of abuse cases, the child knows the person. It is usually someone tfie child has learned to trust and love. From recent studies it appears th at 35 percent of abused children suffer from incest; they,are abused by family members. M ost abusers are male. The abuser need pot be an adult but by com m on definition, is usually at least fo u r years older than the victim. Why a person becomes an abuser or a victim cannot be clearly explained. But it is pos- sible to identify attitudes, expe riences and situations which put the individuals at risk. abuse. The adults were victims of abuse themselves and they believe th at is the way it is in this world. As a society we teach children to accept adult au th o rity w ith out questions and to be submis sive to th at authority. In rttost com munities the topic of child sexual abuse is kept secret and it is taboo to talk of any sexual subject. The child then believes that this is the way life is and th at he is not to talk of anything sexual. T his gives the child n o p la c e to tu r n w ith th e problem and it protects the abu ser. So, the act of abuse can con tinue. C hildren are . raised to rbeheve adults are right m all com m unity is also able to pro matters.
