TF CBT Sexual Abuse Questions With Complete Solutions
Can you look at someone and tell they are a sexual predator?
Correct Answers No, there's no clear-cut profile of a sex
offender. Some offenders were sexually abused as children, but
others have no such history. Some are unable to function
sexually with adult partners and so prey on children, while
others also have sexual relations with adults.
Could a child be a willing participant in sexual abuse? Correct
Answers Because of the age difference, children are unable to
truly consent to sexual acts. They are often made to feel like
willing participants, which further contributes to their shame and
guilt.
Do you think this?
I will begin to distrust all men. Correct Answers Remember
that while most sexual assault perpetrators are men, most men
are not perpetrators.
Does every child who is sexually abused need treatment?
Correct Answers In many cases, a child may not need lengthy,
intensive therapy, but it's helpful for the child and parent to sit
down with a trained professional and talk through what has
happened, to make sure the child understands and feels safe
talking about his or her feelings. Children may blame
themselves or hold other unrealistic ideas or beliefs about the
abuse (cognitive distortions) that need to be corrected.
, How can a child be protected from sexual abuse? Correct
Answers You can minimize the risk to your child(ren) by
listening to their questions and concerns, talking to them about
sex and sexual abuse, and ensuring an open and communicative
family lifestyle where your child(ren) know they can come to
you if they have questions, fears and/or concerns.
How do sexual predators groom kids to engage in sexual
inappropriate behavior? Correct Answers Offenders often do
not use physical force, but may use play, deception, threats, or
other coercive methods to engage youngsters and maintain their
silence.
How do you approach my brother, sister, mother, cousin, father,
in-laws, uncle, or husband if I suspect them of sexually abusing
someone? Correct Answers Your best approach is to contact
the authorities (law enforcement or child protective services)
and let them investigate, because your priority is to believe and
protect your child. Just remember to remove your child from the
environment.
Is it common for children not to tell even their parents that
they've been abused? Correct Answers Yes, delayed
disclosures are common and are not a reflection of a poor
parent-child relationship.
Is sexual activity between two children abuse? Correct Answers
It depends:
If the children are the same ages and expressing their curiosity
thats not typically considered abuse.
