This is a great topic. So often families cant even afford treatment. Some parents “dont have the time” to take off work to get treatment for their children. Its very sad. We just have to raise awareness in our communities and maybe even lend some of our time.

Sexual abuse prevention education is the key! We need to educate kids as well as parents and our community. Forewarned is forearmed. http://www.somesecrets.info

In reply to Looper.

I agree with you 100% Dawn. If you are interested I would love for you to submit a guest post on this subject and you can put a link to your book in it. We all need to be better educated on this matter and I am all for helping spread the message. Just email me at contact@stephanspeaks.com

I 100% believe that children and adults need to be educated on this subject. When a child is sexual abused they feel dirty, ashamed, betrayed, scared and embarrassed. What child wants to run and tell that secret??? A lot of children go through life never telling and it effects them in so many ways. I believe that if parents discussed sexual abuse with their children at a early age that it could help minimize this type of abuse for happening! I have written and illustrated a book named “Looper, Stop Child Abuse” in hope, to educate both children and adults on what to do if in a abusive situation and to put an end to this type of abuse!

In reply to Tremayne Moore. It is unfortunate that you and so many others have had to go through this. I'm hoping we can get more people to openly discuss this issue. People need to hear more about this topic and books like yours.

Hi. I’m a male and I suffered sexual abuse when I was 10. And my parented turned a blind eye by allowing the abuser back in the house after telling them (even though I lied saying it happened once, it really happened for 7 months). It was my mother’s half-brother & he was 2 years older than me.

I wrote a novel reflective of my story, the difference is that It also addresses teenage suicide. I was diagnosed with PTSD in 2008.

In reply to Corey_elsie. I understand where you are coming from. The thing is many of the abusers have been abused themselves. It is a crazy unfortunate cycle that we have to find a way to stop. The more we talk about it the better we have a chance to make a difference. Also remember, many times the offender is in the family. That is why we have to talk to the children so that they understand how to handle this potential issue.
