When a person has sexual relations with another without their consent, then we are talking about sexual abuse or rape. According to the dictionary of the Royal Spanish Academy (RAE), abuse is defined as misusing, excessive, unfair, improper or improperly used something or someone. Sexual abuse can occur between adults, an adult to a child, or between children. A sexual abuser forces his victim to have sexual activity with him. Understanding as sexual activity any act of penetration of the genitals.
When sexual abuse is done towards a minor, the rapist (that's the name of the person who commits the abuse) takes advantage of the minor's inexperience or inability to understand certain acts, including making them touch their sexual organs teach them pornographic films, have children observe them when they are naked, etc.
In these cases, most of the time the rapist is someone close to the child or his relatives, the abuser gains the trust of the family environment to have free access to the minor. The rapist can use many tricks to deceive his victims, he can act in an obvious way towards the victim by applying violence, or on the contrary, he can use the trust that the victim has in him, because he is someone close to his family environment.
It should be clear that sexual abuse is not only the penetration of the genitals, it is also forcing them to have oral sex, forcing them to touch their genitals, forcing them to observe them masturbating, etc.
These types of despicable acts do not have a specific place, they can occur within the same family, at work, in schools, etc. There are several signs or symptoms that will indicate that sexual abuse has occurred: changes in the victim's behavior, signs of pain in the genital areas, in the case of children, signs of bleeding, depression, pregnancy, clothing of the victim is torn or stained.
We live in a society where the loss of values has increased, the consumption of drugs, alcohol, can trigger this type of behavior, as parents you must be aware of any change in the behavior of your children, which alerts you that something is happening Mistrusting everyone, even family members themselves, is unfortunate but it is the reality, as the saying goes "faces, we see hearts, we don't know."
