advice on potential sexual abuse...

annie70 September 3, 2013 09:22
We are linked to a blue LO aged 6 and have just read the CPR.Up to age 4 1/2 LO was exposed to numerous men considered a danger to children - one who stated it was just boys...There are various quotes and indications which seem to indicate that inappropriate sexual activity may have taken place with some of the children but nothing concrete and no associated behaviours mentioned in latest FC report or profile at all...Can anyone advise on what we might expect from a male child who had been subject to / witnessed sexual abuse - how it might manifest - and as he gets older?And we have started thinking about all the things we wouldn''t be able to do confidently like leaving LO to play with other children, DH and LO in swimming changing rooms, being naked it the house, bathtime etc - should we be thinking along these lines or am I just being paranoid?Many thanks in advance - PMs also most welcome but I am not sure what will happen when the new boards arrive...?!

Hi, Annie -There are quite a few threads on this. I'd recommend doing a search quick before the website update, as they will all disappear for a time at least.All the best,Corkwing

A book I found useful is "the protector's handbook" by Gerrilyn Smith. It's an old book, probably outdated for some things like the legal side, but it has some very practical everyday strategies for parenting children with complex life histories.As Corkwing says, the parents on these boards are probably able to give you a better idea than most professionals, as they live with the fallout from these kinds of situations 24/7. It's also good to know that you are not alone in struggling. You might find these threads useful as they are posted by people in fairly similar circumstances to you....Advice needed - sexualised behaviour Possible s-xual abuse (There's a search button on the toolbar above.)
