| If A Child Discloses A Sexual Assault, How Do you Deal With It? |
- Above All, let your child know they did the right thing and you are so proud
of them for being so brave and telling. Reassure them that you are on their
side.
- Report any and ALL incidents. This is not a situation to be take lightly!
- Do Not Get OUTWARDLY Emotional. STAY CALM and collected. This will
be the hardest for you to do, but you must do it.
- Protect your child from the Abuser as well as those who are on
the Abuser's side. By this I mean others may, and usually do say horrible
nasty things about the child and accuse them of being the liar, a troublemaker,
needing attention, etc. Keep your child away from these people, even if you
must stop attending family functions. The only exception to this rule is if the
family member is a sibling. This is where Family Counseling counts!
- Seek Counseling as Family as well as Individual Counseling! This child's
healing depends on you. Because there is a 90% chance that the Child
Molester you are confronted with is family member or close family friend whom
'you' love and car for also, will no doubt cause family divisions.
Stay strong and brave for your child and do the right thing in this incident,
regardless of the 'peer' pressure from other family members. As Awful as this is,
it is Crucial you appear 'unshaken' for this child's sake!
- But how can a human possibly react reasonably, you may ask? The Answer
is: Practice. Even if you think, "this will never happen to me" or "this will
not happen in my family". Practice until you are clear of what to say and what to
do if your child discloses a sexual assault.
REMEMBER, Your child is only a child once and deserves the best childhood
you can provide them. You will never get a second chance to raise your children
... It has to beto be done right the first time.
Our homes must be a safe environment for our children, and they need to feel they
will be protected from danger! When there is a sexual assault , the child must
always feel they have the full support from you and their siblings.
Following these steps will Help Your Child Begin To Heal from their Sexual Assault.
