This is another form of child sexual abuse. In
child-on-child sexual abuse no adult is involved. This event is totally
happened between adolescents. When one little child is sexually abused by one
or more children is known to be child-on-child abuse. Child-on-child
abuse is when one child uses the physical force, threats, tricks and emotional
manipulation to get their purpose done.
Most of the times victims cannot understand about what is happening to
them, as they have no idea about the child sexual abuse by the other child. The
victims just go along with the event and have no idea about the consequences of
that event. The victims may recall the
event in their younger age and then blame themselves that it might be them who
were the initiator of that event.
Causes
The main cause of this abuse is that the child who
initiates the abuse may not mature enough.
These children do not know anything about the sexual acts. Most of the
abusers of such abuse are also victimized of the child sexual abuse by some
other adult person in their lives. The other cause of this abuse is the abuser
is exposed to pornography in very little age or witnessed the sexual activities
during his/her early life.
Prevalence
The events like these are rarely got reported and not
got enough attention. The child-on-child abuse is certainly not considered as
harmful as it is not similar to the adult abuse. It is mostly not noticed by
the public as it does not involve the adults. Sometimes most of the adults got
known about child-on-child abuse but they don’t give attention to it and think
it is not much harmful and they have no idea about the consequences of that
act.
Effects
The problems and consequences faced by the victims of
this kind of abuse are the same as faced by the victims of sexual abuse by the
adults. The victims of child-on-child abuse also have problems of anxiety,
depression, eating disorders, sleepless nights and stress. In most of the cases
is also cause the suicidal attempt by the victim. The victim in starting
thought it was a normal act but in their adult age they realize that it was
something wrong and started to blame themselves as the initiator of that act.
