Introduction It is imperative to mention that child abuse is a topic that has been actively discussed over the last few years, and many scholars have recognized that such barriers that affect an ability of individual to report such cases are currently present. The problem is that enormous numbers of cases are not reported, and many individuals are ready to report abuse only after they have grown up (Hunter 159). The primary aim of the article by Fontes and Plummer is to draw attention to this problem and develop an interview guideline that would take cultural aspects into account (Fontes and Plummer 491). Discussion The issue that many individuals have to deal with is that they do not understand what course of actions needs to be taken in such situations because of lack of education on this topic. Also, they are incredibly afraid most of the time and are worried about possible consequences. The problem that should not be disregarded is that an enormous percentage of children have to deal with sexual abuse from the side of people that are close to them such as parents and caregivers. Moreover, another aspect that needs to be discussed is that such actions frequently lead to psychological issues, and individuals that have suffered from sexual abuse prefer not to remember such events. Authors of the article state that even trained professionals are not capable of getting the necessary information because children resist disclosing (Fontes and Plummer 494). Also, another core problem that needs to be taken into account is that many think that children may exaggerate everything, and such information cannot be trusted. However, it is necessary to understand that every individual should take measures if there is any suspicion of sexual abuse. The fact that authors paid enormous attention to differences between the cultures also needs to be mentioned. It is stated that social status and cultural values play a vital role in this case, and have an impact on the behavior of the abuser and the child (Fontes and Plummer 496). Moreover, it is necessary to understand that individuals that have to deal with poverty are more likely to abuse alcohol and drugs, and it leads to questionable decisions in some cases. Also, another issue that needs to be discussed is that it is entirely possible that members of the family are depressed and tension is present. It is necessary to mention that culture plays a vital role in this case because the influence of parents is much higher in particular cultural groups. Moreover, the problem is that the way families view the importance of sexual education also varies, and children do not have an understanding of what is right or wrong because they are not provided with necessary information. Also, the fact that differences between the cultures are so significant may be incredibly problematic. For instance, it is stated that it may seem appropriate for males to like younger females in some cases, and this information is truly worrying (Fontes and Plummer 498). The discussion of dissimilarity between the ways boys and girls disclose sexual abuse is also fascinating, and such aspects as pride seem incredibly problematic. Another significant barrier that is currently pr
