Inaccurate or a lack of information is more damaging to children. Family sexual abuse is an isolated, one-time incident. In most cases, the offender will not stop until there is an intervention. Children provoke sexual abuse by their seductive behavior. They are often coerced by bribes, threats and use of a position of authority.
Healing is easiest when the intervention is immediate, and appropriate therapy is provided.
The recovery process is far more difficult the longer it is delayed. For adults who have repressed memories, it can be lengthy. But all victims of abuse can become fully functioning, healthy children and adults. There is great hope for us all in facing and healing sexual abuse. I d easily be able to pick out a potential offender.
