What is MOLESTATION?

Molestation is said to be a crime of sexual acts with children not up to the age of 18, including touching of private parts, exposure of genitalia, taking of pornographic pictures, rape, inducement of sexual acts with the molester or with other children. It is the forceful act of an elderly person on a child sexually or through turture. It is done by PEDOPHILES.

SIGNS TO SHOW THAT YOUR CHILD IS GOING THROUGH MOLESTATION

1.SLEEP DISTURBANCES: It is necessary to Watch to see if your child has issues when they sleep, such as bed-wetting, nightmares, if they are afraid to go to bed.This is a major sign of trauma and fear of anyone touching them again while they are alone because they are scared
2.BEHAVIOR CHANGES:Always Keep an eye out for any sudden changes in your child’s behavior such as big mood swings, withdrawal from everyday activities, fearfulness, and crying often.This could be a sign of something deep going on with your child, but doesn’t know how to express it except for feeling guilt and shame.
3.MARKS & INJURIES: Inspect your child’s body and make sure they don’t have any marks or bruises that they can’t explain.This is by far one of the most prominent signs of abuse or molestation. Children tend to hide these types of marks out of shame or embarrassment. Periodically checking up on your child for these types of injuries, such as rashes, cuts, bruises, or limping, is crucial and something that must be done to help protect your child.
4.PRIVATE AREAS: Make sure that your child’s private areas don’t have any issues – look for signs such as pain, itching, bleeding, fluid, or rawness.Remind your child that you and only you and their doctor are allowed to look at or touch their private parts. If you notice anything peculiar about their genitals, it could be a serious warning sign of molestation.
5.FEARS: If your child begins to develop fears of particular places, certain individuals, or activities they once enjoyed, try to get to the root of their anxieties.Watching for this kind of sign is extremely important because it is an indicator of something going on with your child, such as trauma, abuse, or molestation. If your child begins to develop fears of certain people, there is usually a reason for it.
6.TROUBLE IN SCHOOL: If u notice that your child no longer desire to go to school,If your child begins to have trouble in school, whether they are struggling with academics, acting out, or engaging in inappropriate acts having to do with sexual curiosity, consult your child’s school and get to the bottom of their issues.It’s best for parents to stay in touch with their child’s school in regards to their kid’s performance and behaviors. If you learn that your child is acting out in a sexual manner while at school, this could be a sign of potential unwarranted sexual curiosity and activity at their young age.
