Answers in Genesis: Christians, We Tried to Warn You...



What To Do When You Suspect Child Sexual Abuse - christianpost.com

Excerpt from this article

"What are the 'Dos and Don'ts' of awareness?
 Do … be aware that child sexual abuse is illegal, a crime that must be reported.
 Do … be aware that children are usually abused by people they know.
 Do … be aware that children seldom lie about sexual abuse.  
Do … be aware that physical abuse is often violent, but child sexual abuse is usually not violent. Do … be aware that children may deny or change their stories because of fear.
Do … be aware that sexual abuse is progressive and will get worse if not stopped.
Don't … be in denial, no matter how difficult it is to believe.  
Don't … minimize the abuse by turning a blind eye.
Don't … let the offender go without confrontation.  
Don't … keep abuse a 'family' or 'ministry' secret."
-----------------------------------------------------------------

There is only one proper thing to do if you suspect that a child is being physically or sexually abused - Tell! Tell someone who has the authority to immediately put an end to the abuse.

The Bible [our Lord Jesus] says:

"It is impossible but that offenses will come: but woe unto him, through whom they come!  It were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he cast into the sea, than that he should offend one of these little ones." - Luke 17:1,2
