National sexual violence resource center info & stats for journalists-What is child sexual abuse?

When doing research on the Sandusky trial this morning, I came across the media packet, that the Nation Sexual Violence Resource Center put together for the media covering the Sandusky trial. http://nsvrc.org/sites/default/files/Publications_NSVRC_Media-Packet.pdf 
I thought readers might be interested in this. It is 12 pages long. I have only cut and pasted their definition into forms of child sexual abuse and signs that a child may have been sexually abused.

Interestingly a lot of the signs that a child might have been sexually abused are signs that Sandusky's victims displayed. I saw this morning on twitter that the mother of victim number 9 always wondered why her son didn't have underwear in the laundry. That was very telling. We have a long way to go to educate on child sexual abuse. Rosie

• Forms of child sexual abuse:
  
  • A person sexually abuses a child when he or she exposes the child to sexual acts or behavior. Forms include (Finkelhor, Hammer, & Sedlak, 2008): Sex acts that involve penetration. Touching the child’s breasts or genitals
  • Making a child touch the perpetrator’s breasts or genitals
  • Voyeurism (when a perpetrator looks at a child’s naked body)
  • Exhibitionism (when a perpetrator shows a child his or her naked body)
  • Showing a child pornography or using a child in the production of pornography (Putnam, 2003).
  • Child sexual exploitation, such as trafficking or sex trafficking
  • Internet-based child sexual abuse, such as creating, depicting, and/or distributing sexual images of children online; or stalking, grooming, and/or engaging in sexually explicit behaviors with children online.

•  Warning Signs that a child may have been sexually abused

• Bodily signs (e.g., bed-wetting, stomachaches, headaches, sore genitals)

• Emotional signs (e.g., fear, sadness, mood changes, acting out, refusing to be left alone with certain people)

• Sexual signs (e.g., inappropriate sexual behavior with objects or other children)

• Verbal signs (e.g., knowledge about sexuality that is not age- or developmentally appropriate)

• Evidence shows that child sexual abuse is not always obvious and many children do not report that they have been abused (Finkelhor et al., 2008).

• Children often love and/or trust the people who sexually abuse them, creating further barriers and complications in coming forward. Some fear the consequences of a disclosure and the ramifications it will have on their family. People who sexually abuse children may use force or, more commonly, manipulation.
