The rediscovery of child abuse can be largely contributed to the news media for highlighting the inhumane treatment of children by parents and guardians. Many children were being viciously punished by parents and guardians as a form of corrective training. The harsh punishment and beating would have resulted in severe injuries to the child and their wellbeing. The disturbing circumstances reported by the media drew strong condemnation from people and organization around the nation. The highlighted problem by the media helped mobilize a very strong social movement to deal with the problems and issues relating to child abuse. The movement then quickly highlighted some very important aspect of child abuse such as sexual exploitation, incest, gross

Sexual abuse, specifically from a male, generates many negative consequences, especially to the victims involved. Male violence occurs all over the United States and has been steadily rising (Hooks 117). In Bell Hooks’ article, “Feminist Move to End Violence”, she discusses the reason why male violence is occurring. She explains, “While male supremacy encourages the use of abusive force to maintain male domination of women, it is the Western philosophical notion of hierarchical rule and coercive authority that is the root cause of violence against women, of adult violence against children, of all violence between those who dominate and those who are dominated” (Hooks 118). Due to the relevance of male violence today, feminist writers have been addressing this issue and its impact in their novels.

Our society is caught in a struggle to do what is right for the victims of sexual abuse. The publics opinion of what is considered sexual abuse can vary, as does the laws of the states making up the United States. It is a little confusing, to me, how being considered an adult in one state does not guarantee that the same individual would be treated the same way in another state. But it is a fact of life, the laws are different. Merriam Webster dictionary defines sexual intercourse with a person who is below the statutory age of consent as statutory rape. The age that a person can legally give consent to sexual intercourse varies between states. In the state that I live in, North Carolina, the legal age of consent is 16 years of or older. The

Professor Culter became a victim of sexual abuse when she moved to her grandparents house. Her uncle molested and sodomized Mrs. Culter for about thirteen years. She chose to stay quiet and and speak about the abuse until she got older.When she built enough courage to tell her family about that incident she went to the police station to file a report. But unfortunately because she waited a while to file a complaint against her uncle, she missed the statute of limitations by a year. Throughout her presentation she had a unique way of telling her story by incorporating rock music specifically songs from a band called Linkin Park. An interesting point Overall, it’s unfortunate that she went through that situation, but through that issue she became

Subject child was interviewed at the Bronx CAC due to sexual abuse concerns depicted in Case ID 26651512 which was enhanced to an IRT (IRTA# 64678) on 3/23/17.

The third distinctive argument is that sexual abuse puts teens at risk for teen pregnancy. When someone is sexually assaulted they usually do not report it in fear of what others may say or think of them. As a child, children are unaware of whats right from wrong putting them at a higher risk to be abused. Under-aged children tend to suffer sexual abuse from someone closer to them like a parent, aunt/uncle, sibling, or even a babysitter. Because children do not know that any form of touching someone who does not consent to it is sexual abuse they tend to suffer from abuse longer. Researchers Boyer and Fine (1992) have argued that the trauma of sexual victimization may harm normal developmental process. As these children grow older and

U.S. Centers for Disease Control did a study that examined nearly 600,000 confirmed child maltreatment cases over the course of a year. Of the cases there were 1,740 of the cases that resulted in the death of a child.

The proposed research is into the experience of women using nature therapy to heal trauma from sexualized assault or abuse.

In the research article “Cognitive Mechanisms Underlying Recovered-Memory Experiences of Childhood Sexual Abuse”, people have sometimes reported forgotten memories of childhood sexual abuse from long ago. People suddenly recalled memories of being sexually abused. The researchers from this article recognized two subgroups of those who reported recovered memories, with each group having different cognitive profiles. Those whose memory recovered through therapy had a high susceptibility to the construction of false memories, but no tendency to misjudge their past remembering. The people who recovered memories naturally were prone to forget prior incidents of remembering, but showed no increase to mechanisms that cause recovered-memory experiences.

Before I begin, allow me to preface this post: I'm not trying to be a hot take, nor am I trying to profit off of a sensitive topic.
