Everybody in this team is doing a great job of talking about a painful silence and in creating more awareness. I wanted to thank you all providing a space to discuss child sexual abuse which exists in our country but denied vehemently.
I wanted to ask if anyone considered the possibility of the child being sexually abused by one of the parents? Even today when we are talking openly about child sexual abuse, we refer to abuse by family members (in general) and friends. We have to start talking about the possibility of the child being abused by one of the parents (father in most cases). The percentage of abuse by parents might be small but it does exist and we have to talk about it. When a parent breaches the child’s trust, who will the child report to? Will the other parent be more understanding and willing to listen? how can the child deal with the abuse and its effects in silence? can the child trust anyone to talk about the abuse?
Child sexual abuse in itself is a very difficult to deal with. Things get really complicated and painful when the abuser is a parent. We cannot afford to neglect this issue or its consequences.
Please add this to the list of possible topics and discuss.
Thank you for bringing this very important topic up. We shall surely take this up in one of our posts in the course of the month.
I would also request you to discuss on situations were a parent is the violator. I dont know how common this is, but having been through it myself, its a very confusing & traumatic situation and worthy of discussion.
thanks for comment yeah we will try and cover that up… good point
would u like to share ur story with as anon?
