There are many myths about child sexual abuse. The mother must have known it was happening. The mother must be a bad wife or mother. The abuse does not really hurt the child. All abusers were abused themselves.
Children often lie about being abused.
These myths minimise the abuse, place the blame on the child or the mother, and excuse the offender from taking responsibility for his actions. It can be very distressing for parents to learn that their child has been sexually abused. They often feel shock, denial, confusion, anger, guilt, isolation, fear, betrayal and depression. There are many services that help the children to cope with their trauma, but often parents report that they also need support for themselves.
