What's really important for people to
realize is that the sexual abuse does
not just end after a victim is abused.
The effects of sexual abuse last a
lifetime. And unless treated early and
quickly, we have seen all too often
victims of sexual abuse spiral downward.
Whether it's towards addiction,
promiscuity, self harm, untreated
victims of sexual abuse all too often
lose the ability to trust, lose the
ability to have healthy relationships,
and lose the ability to communicate
effectively. It is so important that as
soon as we find out that somebody was
sexually molested, we get them the
proper treatment as quickly as possible
so that we can give them the chance to
lead a real healthy great life.
