Content: 11. Reluctance to undress or bathe
A child may show reluctance or refusal to undress or change clothes or take a bath. This may be tell-tale signs of child sexual abuse. Frequent visits by a male relative or friend
If an adult male relative or friend begins visiting your house frequently, shows excess physical affection for your child, takes your child out on outings alone or offer to take your child to the bathroom, it is to be viewed with suspicion of child abuse. A parent has to be vigilant of adults surrounding his/her child, even if it means keeping a close eye on relatives or friends. In matters of child abuse, the only cure is prevention. Parents must be vigilant and observant of their child’s behavior as well as surroundings at all times. Knowledge of the signs of child abuse may help save your or another child from a lifetime of trauma. RELATED POSTS
