"Faces of child sexual abuse

How does a sexually abused child act? Individual children respond differently, but hallmarks include difficulty sleeping, nightmares, withdrawn and escapist behavior. Children can appear to live in a fantasy world or show signs of Cindarella Complex. Sexually traumatized kids are prone to angry outbursts and depression. They may stop caring for themselves, abuse food, avoid grooming or they may sexualize themselves. Abused kids may self-mutilate. They often manifest acute anxiety around certain people. They often have separation anxiey issues and suffer from symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder. They may display inappropriate sexual knowledge and behavior for their age. Sexually abused children may make overtly sexual advances, particularly if they have been taught to use sexual behavior to get things."
