There are various warning signs that child sexual abuse is taking place. They can include behavioral changes, emotional signs, and physical symptoms – some more obvious than others. If you suspect that something isn’t right with your child or teenager, or notice sudden personality changes that don’t make sense, trust your instinct and open a dialogue with them. The presence of one sign doesn’t necessarily mean that abuse is taking place, but if several red flags are present, it’s time to start asking questions and, when appropriate, seeking legal guidance and help.
