Child sexual abuse not limited to certain few
T heN ational American Indian

released inform ation oh child

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

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

ser. So, the act of abuse can con
