Sexualized Children: Assessment and Treatment of Sexualized Children and Children Who Molest

“It is easy to understand why trust becomes a major issue for adults abused as children when you remember that trust is learned in childhood. As children, we were totally dependent upon our parents. We trusted that they would feed us, change our diapers, keep us safe and warm. When this trust is unknown or broken, it is difficult to restore.”

“Many adults abused as children feel they cannot turn to others when they are feeling sad. They are either afraid to “burden” others, be rejected, or they may have learned that showing feelings gets them into more trouble. It is important to remember that friends often want the opportunity to help you, and although scary at first, you may find yourself getting what you need from others. And liking it!”

“Children who grow up being put down, held back, beaten, taken advantage of, ignored, and misused or maltreated, find it hard to trust, and expect little from others except pain. They protect themselves by staying isolated and may frequently feel that as long as they don’t have to relate to anyone else, they will manage. Loneliness may become a way of life for these children. An abused child often plays alone, makes friends only with a pet, or creates a rich fantasy life.”
