Child abuse has horrible consequences

Long-term consequences of childhood sexual abuse can include a wide range of psychological, emotional, physical, and social effects (Smith, et all, 1995):

• anxiety
• depression
• obsession
• compulsion
• grief
• post-traumatic reactions
• poor self perception
• sexual dysfunction
• social dysfunction
• dysfunction of relationships
• poor education and employment records, and
• various physical symptoms.

Severe sexual abuse is associated with suicidality, sexual aggression, and self-mutilation (Kisiel and Lyons, 2001).

It should be noted that such activity does not always result in harm to the child involved.
