This is a challenging topic, but childhood sexual abuse happens, and occurs more than you think. There are ways to help. First – always believe someone if they tell you they have been sexually abused. Then, find a safe and trusted person that can help you talk to a social worker or DSS worker. You can also call your local state central registry or the national child abuse hotline at 1-800-422-4453. Stats are from www.d2l.org, a great resource for more info on child sexual abuse and assault.
