Child Abuse Myth 4: If a child is being abused, there will be physical, irrefutable evidence.

Fact: Even in cases of sexual abuse of a child, there is often no physical signs or irrefutable physical evidence of that child's abuse. In fact, physical evidence is only found in 5% of child sexual abuse cases according to research studies.

What you can do: Believe the child. An adult will have his/her day in court but a child needs to be believed. Remember that less than 10% of claims of child abuse are ever found out to be false or unfounded.

Myth 3: Children tell someone when they are being abused.

Fact: Unfortunately, we know through studies that most children will delay or never disclose abuse of all kinds.

What can you do: Talk to your children about what abuse looks like. Be a safe place for them to talk but also a place they can send their friends if needed to talk. Never hesitate to report something if you feel uneasy or unsure. Let DCS decide if an investigation needs to be done. Finally, be an advocate for a child- volunteer with CASA or just be a child's champion when needed.

Child Abuse Prevention Month: Myth 2

Myth: Children are abused by creepy, psychopaths or obviously identifiable character.

Truth: Many abusers are very charming and charismatic. Moreover, over 90% of children are abused by people well known to them; parents, step-parents, foster parents, relatives, neighbors, etc. This is true for all forms of child sexual abuse including sexual abuse.

Each day of Child Sexual Abuse Prevention Month, I will post a common myths about abuse of children. Please share so we can start this conversation and bring a light to this issue.

Myth: Children lie or make- up abuse.

Fact: According to police statistics, court records, and psychological studies, it is estimated that only 2-10% of reports of child abuse are found to be fabricated or a lie. What is much more common is the denial or judgment of a child lying or making-up abuse so the abuse is ignored or dismissed. Often this looks like minimization, gaslighting, or denial.

If the estimates that 2-10% of reports of child abuse are not true, this means 90-98% of abuse reports by children are accurate. As children they often have a lot less access to services or help so as adults, it is imperative that we advocate for and champion the cause of children who need a voice and need help.
