Millions of children are victims of sexual abuse.
Most of this victimization occurs between eight and 12 years of age. Although the majority of sexually abused children are girls, boys are victimized as well. According to studies, 25 percent of adult women and 10 percent of adult men can remember being sexually abused as children or adolescents.
Sexual abuse is a difficult subject for most people -- especially parents -- to discuss. But as frightening as the topic may be, sexual abuse is a serious and increasingly recurring problem.
Dr. Corinn Cross shares important information on how to talk to your kids about good touch/ bad touch, as well as what to do if someone if making them feel uncomfortable.
