About this listen

 Childhood sexual abuse, so prominent in the news during recent years, is a subject that parents avoid because it is so disgusting, so unbelievable, to healthy adults. However, to remain ignorant increases that risk that you will not recognize the signs that your child is being targeted for sexual abuse or the symptoms that indicate that abuse may be occurring. Knowledge of how abusers seduce children, often right under the noses of their parents; and the profound, life long emotional and developmental consequences is essential for every parent. Dr. Colarusso has served as an expert witness in over 100 cases of childhood sexual abuse and has treated victims of all ages and perpetrators. In this eBook he focuses on just two aspects of the subject. First, information about how abusers manipulate children and their parents into an abusive relationship and specific details about the sexual acts which abusers inflict on their victims. Knowledge of such gruesome details may help parents take whatever steps are necessary to prevent their child from being abused. Second, through thoroughly disguised case histories, provide descriptions of the life long effects of chronic child sexual abuse. Chronic abuse in childhood continues to devastate all aspects of functioning and relating throughout adulthood, indeed, for the remainder of life. This book should be must reading for all parents. What Every Parent Needs to Know About Child Sexual Abuse provides parents with the vital information which they need to prevent their child from becoming a victim and suggestions on what to do if your child has been abused. This book includes information on: Statistics about the frequency of child abuse, who is being abused and who are the abusers. Information about the serious psychiatric disorders which are caused by childhood sexual abuse. The methods that perpetrators use to groom their victims and fool their parents. Case examples of the abuse of victims from ages three to eighteen. Descriptions of ongoing effects of childhood sexual abuse on adult development, including serious, continuing effects fifty years after the abuse had ended. Force yourself to confront the disturbing information in this book and use the knowledge to prevent children from being sexually abused. About the Author: Calvin A.
