Introduction

Child sex abuse could be defined as the involvement of immature in sexual activity, individuals who lack awareness of their actions as well as a choice. From this definition it is clear that sexual abuse is certainly not an activity that necessarily entails the act of penetration. The key, however, is represented by the condition of the victim, unable to choose correctly or to understand what is happening or being proposed

Sexual violence is one of the worst forms of violence which may be imposed on children. It can take many forms from incest, pornography, prostitution, human trafficking, sexual exploitation or abuse. Sex attacks on children are rare and are a sign of moral decay and degradation of society.

In fact, four out of five do those whom the child knows, some of the older members of his own family. Sexual attacks on children occur mostly in poor, uneducated, and among single-parent families. In fact, this happens in all walks of life, with all levels of education and income, in all ethnic and religious groups. If an adult sexually abuses a child, he used to love, dependence or trust to satisfy his sexual desires - and it imposes its desire to bid, or to close it by force. It threatens the basic life and child development and affects his soul.

Most often, "seducers" are brothers and sisters (45 per cent of girls and 68 percent of boys). In second place (38 per cent of girls and 10 percent of boys) - fathers and stepfathers. Some of the boys (6 percent) had sexual contact with their ...
