Being sexually abused is a very traumatizing experience, and this form of victimization at a young age only amplifies the situation. The mortifying nature of child sexual abuse often brings along with it changes in the victim's life. Some of the numerous short term effects (problems that impact them while they are still at a young

I had the pleasure interviewing Ms. Sabrina Anderson. Ms. Anderson is a Probation Counselor II at Foundations Residential Facility in Fairfax, Virginia. Foundations Residential Facility counsels young women between ages of 12-18 who are mandated by Fairfax Juvenile Court System due to various offences. Most of the women were victims of sexual and drug abuse. There are six residents at the facility whose probation period ranges from eight to twelve months long. The maximum number of ladies that are allowed is twelve: each counselor has two clients. The residents are required to stay at the facility for a week and then may go home on the weekends if they well behaved. In the beginning, Ms. Anderson and her client will come up with a plan/agenda

It has been around six years since Brandon exposed that his biological father had continually sexually abused him between the ages 4-6 years old. Brandon is a 12 year old Caucasian American preteen. His mother is concerned that he will become a violent sexual offender if he does not get the help that he needs.

IRTC spoke with assigned CPS, Tannisea Tracy, who reported that the subject child was interviewed today and she mentioned that she was raped twice by a previous foster father; subject child couldn’t recall who, where, or when the incident occurred.

I was raised by a single mother in Massachusetts in the 1980s. In 1983, when I was five years old, I was “kidnapped” by the teenage nephew of our neighbors and held in their root cellar for roughly 12 hours. I write “kidnapped” because even though what happened to me was not technically a kidnapping – I wasn’t held for ransom or for more than twenty-four hours, it was the only word that I had at my disposal to describe my experience. Because I was five and no one had explained to me what sexual assault, molestation or rape was. In America it is estimated that nearly 1 in 5 women has experienced or will experience a rape in her lifetime (Black, et al. 2011). I am just one of the estimated 42 million survivors of childhood sexual abuse

In regards to Case Study B, the facts of the case, are noted through the textbook that the female offender is on parole, after serving her two years for aggravated assault. She was on your parole watch, for the last five months and only has seven more months. She has been reporting regularly but has recently missed her appointment with the parole officer, and the parole officer, recently found that she had quit her job, and still needs to finish up court ordered conditions. It was found through the text that Ms. York “quit coming to work, three weeks ago, and has now been replaced at her job” with missing work for three months, and not reporting to the parole officer, it does raise some red flags in regards to having to deal with Ms. York.

The client is a single, 24-year-old Caucasian male and makes a living as a laborer. The purpose for his assessment was to screen him upon violating his probation. Overall, his profile was consistent and appeared to be valid, although he may have a tendency to deny some of problems/ symptoms, or present himself in a more favorable light. His clinical scales were elevated in the areas of drugs, alcohol, antisocial, depressed, borderline and paranoia, which may have caused him to be rather hypervigilant and suspicious. His antisocial symptoms may indicate that he has a hard time with authority, poor relationships/ interpersonal relationships, and likely have situational depressive responses. The subscales indicate that he may be inclined to feel

I am writing on behalf of my child, Neal Moody. Neal lived in a single parent home, and witnessed physical assault and mental abuse by their father. His father would kick, and bruise my eyes. Neal's father would refuse to punish Neal when misbehaving or did not performing household chores. Neal was also mentally abused Neal as a child by me because I was so overwhelmed. Neal and his brother were left alone in the evenings while I worked a part-time at Macy’s Department Store. Neal has been affected emotionally by these events, which contributed to his current struggles.

The interviews did not clearly set out the sexually orientated premise of the interview as the basis of informing the child of the sexual abuse allegations. In this manner, Hagborg et al (2104) describes this type of initial description of the interview as a detriment to the sexual definitions of the interview based on “ disclosure studies concerning CSA that it was important that the interviewers clearly marked, by being straightforward with the sexual material” (p.170). In this manner, the interview

The results of the Gullete & Lyons (2006) confirmed and extended prior research indicating high prevalence levels of childhood sexual abuse.

Child sexual abuse (CSA) is seldom an isolated trauma, often presenting as physical and emotional abuse, nested within other adverse events such as neglect, domestic violence, and/or substance abuse in the household.
