Child abusers come from all walks of life crossing economic and educational demographics. Abusers tend to be angry people, with low self-ego strength. They are emotionally needy, lack impulse control, and lack understanding of children. Some abusers show excess interest in children. There is no absolute method in identifying child abusers.
Child molesters can be very ordinary people.
The prevention of child abuse can only be controlled by better education of the issue at all levels. Adults and children must be educated on the impacts of the issue. Children must be encouraged to report incidents immediately. Authorized and trained professionals must deal with the reporting to allow swift corrective action while protecting the innocent, both the suspected abuser and the child. The process must start by defining child abuse and neglect.
