Child sexual abuse refers to any situation in which a minor is involved in activities of a sexual nature, which constitutes a serious violation of their rights and well-being.
Possible warning signs: Abrupt changes in behavior, withdrawal, new fears, sleep disturbances, or sexual knowledge not appropriate for their age may be indications that deserve attention.
Professional support: The approach requires a safe and specialized environment. The psychologist, the child psychiatrist, and the pediatrician can provide evaluation and support, in addition to offering guidance on the corresponding protective agencies.
