child abuse

It means if adults or young people force children to sexual actions.

In Germany every year between 150.000 and 300.000 children are abused. But only 15.000 get to the public. Everyone knows at least 1 afflicted child, because each 4th girl and each 8th boy are abused. But most victims are quiet girls. Men feel superior to them and they don’t protest.

victims:

                               age:    0 - 4               5 - 8                 9 - 12                   13 - 16

Most culprits are close to the victims or are members of their own family. They use their trust and their dependence. And they plan the abuse. 

Almost every victim is voiceless, because they’re scared of the culprits’ threats and afraid that they will realize them. Many show their power by killing a pet or something.

culprits:

They talk them into believing that these were the children’s own faults and that they wanted it. Out of shame many victims stay voiceless for their whole life. They’re scared to destroy their longing for an “intact family”. They even take back things that they’ve said. And they don’t get help from knowing people.

But you can help them if you believe them. Make them clear that it wasn’t their own fault. Listen to them, but don’t push them to tell something.

And it’s very important to get professional help, for example from “Wildwasser”. It’s a union where you get free help and no one will find out something, because the assistants aren’t allowed to talk about those things with another person, not even with your parents. But if you want that, they will support you. And they won’t do something before you didn’t agree.
