Sexual Abuse - Child Sexual Abuse True Stories (Large Print Edition): What You Need To Know & Shocking Child Abuse Statistics! - Paperback

by Robyn Macbridge (Author)

"Sexual Abuse: Child Sexual Abuse True Stories, What You Need to Know & Shocking Child Abuse Statistics!" is more than just a book of child abuse stories. The victims of child sexual abuse are 1 out of 4 girls and 1 out of 7 boys (World Health Organization). A majority of the offenders are people they know and trust like their family members.Each child has his/her own childhood sexual abuse story and it's a horror that each one have had to live through. There are 7 brief child abuse stories in this book that allows you to take a peek into their world to see what the child experienced, as well as food for thought about that particular experience.In an effort to increase awareness and keep the frequency of sexual abuse and child molestation to a minimum, this book also includes advice from experts and practical tips - some of which might have never crossed your mind, as well as a look into the plight of survivors.The child sexual abuse statistics alone are heartbreaking and unbelievable; things that are hard to fathom, and so many. You'll also find out why mothers who know about it many times do nothing about it and what that does to the child on into adulthood.If you've wondered what child sexual abuse is about - not only the stories - but its prevalence (statistics), psychological and emotional impact, things that can be done to help prevent it, and available resources on a worldwide basis including current phone numbers, support groups and websites, all of that information is contained in this book.Collectively with just a little awareness about that dark world, I feel we can make a difference in protecting the innocence of children/adolescence/teens from molestation and sexual abuse.

Author Biography

This is my first book on the matter of child sexual abuse. What inspired me to write about it is the fact that I got tired of hearing about child molestation in the churches and teachers or coaches taking advantage of children and adolescence who look up to them. But when I looked further into the subject matter, I discovered that child sexual abuse was more prevalent "inside" the home which startled me so much that I felt that people really need to know how much this is going on right in their midst. In my opinion, enough isn't being done about it in terms of protection for children and punishment for the perpetrators - family member or not. Sexual abuse is cruel. And when it comes to children, it's outright evil because they can't defend themselves and sometimes they don't even realize that their innocence is being taken away. Although this is just one book, I'm just one person and this is my way of exposing the reality of child sexual abuse to those who maybe don't know much about it such as the impact it has on the life of the victims in so many ways for the rest of their lives. Children are everywhere; so the more "normal" a childhood that boys and girls can have the happier and healthier the world can be. We can all endeavor to make a difference in our own way.
