Do you suspect your child already knows what bad touch is? Wondering if there has been any sexual harassment? What may indicate that the child has come into contact with a pedophile?

Pedophiliais a sexual disorder -pedophilestrives for sexual contact with the child: starting from exposing and masturbating in the presence of the child, touching him genital organs, and ending with full sexual relations. Signals that may (but need not!) Indicatesexual harassment of a child :

  • strange discharge from the child's reproductive organs indicating irritation or an allergic reaction or a disease of the intimate surroundings;
  • pain in the intimate area or the child's reaction as if something hurts there, e.g. while playing football, it covers the reproductive organs (they have never done it before), refuses to ride a bike due to the discomfort of sitting on the saddle;
  • avoiding physical contact - hugging, stroking;
  • masturbation in public places, despite the fact that you admonish them and explain what behavior is allowed for;
  • encouraging others (children or adults) to touch his genitals;
  • touching and stimulating the reproductive organs of animals;
  • attempts to touch the reproductive organs of children or adults, despite their opposition;
  • sudden and very intense (almost exclusively) sexual games, especially with older children;
  • Sudden drawing of pictures of sexual intercourse and genitals;
  • sleep problems, nightmares, bedwetting;
  • fear of certain places or people;
  • eating disorders - disgust to eat, loss of appetite or excessive appetite;
  • a story about a new old friend and the secrets he has with him.

If you begin to suspect that your child may have been the victim of a pedophile and being sexually abused, act carefully and slowly. Such events will affect your child's psyche very strongly, which is why a quick but thoughtful reaction is so important.
