Sexual Abuse is when an adult shows a child
his or her private parts or wants to see the child's private
parts. Sexual Abuse is also if an adult touches a child's
private parts, either with hands, mouth or the adult's private
parts - or if the adult has sexual intercourse with the child,
masturbates in front of the child or forces the child to do so.
Sexual Abuse is if an adult shows a child pornographic material
(such as videos or pictures) or takes photographs or videos of
the child's private parts.

If abuse is taking place in
your family, phone Childline on 08000 55555 and speak to one of
our trained, caring counsellors. It is a free call and you can
call any time of the day or night from any landline. You don't have
to give your name, if you don't want to.
Your child needs to be helped
if they have been abused, otherwise they will build-up a lot of
hurt and anger inside, which could lead to psychological and
social problems. It is too often the case that "the abused
becomes the abuser" - as child abuse is a cycle that begins
with a child being abused and continues until the child is an
adult, abusing his or her own children.
Help us stop the cycle of
abuse.
