Main Argument: Child sexual abuse has short term and long term affects on children psychologically, physically, socially, and emotionally throughout their adolescent and adult years.

Points/Evidence:

-Generally, juvenile perpetrators are often overlooked in cases of child sexual abuse because of the legal definitions and guidelines of what child sexual sexual abuse is.

-The sexual abuse of children is legally defined as sexual contact that occurs without verbal and proper consent, without mutual agreement, and as result of intimidation, manipulation and deception.

-1 in 7 sexual child abuse incidents are perpetrated by juveniles and is likely to occur on school days between 3pm-7pm.

-In addition, 40% of children who are sexually abused are abused by older, or more powerful children.

-How the abuse affects people can change depending on age and gender

-Researches have used case studies in order to correlate incest and sexual abuse with short and long term effects

'''A)According to Harborview Medical Center in Washington, of the 155 female patients adolescent victims, 63% of them showed psychosocial problems. (Sleeping. eating, depression, fear, anger, etc.)'''

Effects[edit]
Children who were sexually victimized by other minors, including inter-sibling abuse, show largely the same problems as children victimized by adults, including anxiety disorders, depression, substance abuse, suicide, eating disorders, post traumatic stress disorder, sleep disorders and difficulty trusting peers in the context of relationships. The victim often thinks that the act was normal, including thinking they were the initiator or that they went through the act voluntarily.

Major factors that affect the severity of symptoms include the use of force or coercion, the frequency of the abuse, and the invasiveness of the act. An increased risk of victimization later in life has also been reported.

Week 9: Article Outline

Overview:

The entry on the article Child-on-child Sexual Abuse I will be contributing to is the effects of familial abuse on children. The entry list some of the effects and problems shown in children that were abused by siblings and children abused by adults. The entry gives a general and vague list of those effects without giving further detail as well we statistics. Researches have used case studies in order to correlate incest and sexual abuse with short and long term effects. However, both types of effects can overlap each other depending on the state of the victim. Some effects can occur for a short period of time for some people while some may be lifelong.

Short-tem/Initial Effects:

-Anderson, Bach, Griffith > Research done by Harborview Medical Center in Washington:

A) Of the 155 female patients adolescent victims, 63% of them showed psychosocial problems. (Sleeping. eating, depression, fear, anger, etc.)

B) Childhood sexual abuse has been correlated with higher levels of depression, guilt, shame, relationship problems and issues with sexual relationships.

C) Depression most common symptom

D) Survivors blame themselves

E) DeFrancis (1969) observed that 64% of his sample expressed guilt

Long-term Effects:

A) Sedney & Brooks (1984)- 39% of college students victimized as children admitted to having suicidal thoughts compared to the control group's 16% > 16% of participants reported to have attempted suicide at least once years after the ending of the abuse.

B)A study by Bagley and Ramsay in 1985 found that 19% of the child sexual abuse victims in their random sample scored very low on in the self-esteem category of Coopersmith self-esteem inventory.

Outline:

A wide range of reactions and effects of sibling sexual abuse can occur depending on the severity and how long the abuse continued for. Researches have used case studies in order to show the short term and long term effects of sibling incest. However, both types of effects can overlap each other depending on the state of the victim. Some effects can occur for a short period of time for some people while others may be lifelong.

Contribution Evaluation/Peer Review by Aleesia Smith:

I like how you were able to provide statistics to back up the statements you made about the long and short term effects of incest on individuals. I also like how you were able to provide short term and long term affects for incest based on the studies performed by doctors you researched. In your paragraph you listed the sentence, ". A wide range of reactions and effects of sibling sexual abuse can occur depending on the severity and how long the abuse continued for." Most likely by mistake. You don't have to put for at the end of the sentence. Ending it with continued is fine. [Good catch Aleesia!!] Have you considered breaking your entry up by the long/short-term effects? Or going in depth about the major affects that you had evidence on? I really like your topic and I can't wait to see the finished product!

Peer review by Timesha Steele:

I think your topic is very intriguing. Did you check to see if they was already a sibling incest page? The closing sentence of the first paragraph could possibly be taken out due to it being redundant. Make sure you clarify who people are when you are quoting their research. You may want to also use the cite button and quotation marks so wiki doesn't try to get you for plagiarism. I think you should say directly if you're talking about child on child abuse or just sibling incest. I think your topic is really cool and it's going to be a great contribution to wiki.

Overview
A wide range of reactions and effects of child sexual abuse can occur depending on the severity and how long the abuse continued. Researches have used case studies in order to show the short term and long term effects of child sexual abuse. However, individuals can experience both long term and short term effects. Some effects can occur for a short period of time for some while for others the effects may be lifelong.

Short Term Effects
Anderson, Bach, and Griffith (1981) researchers of Harborview Medical Center in Washington studied 155 female adolescent victims to determine some common short term effects. In their research, they found that 67% of the victims showed evidence of psychosocial problems as a result of child sexual abuse. Psychosocial problems can be categorized as sleeping disorders, eating disorders, depression, fear, anger, etc. With depression being the most common result and one of the many effects that can be initial or long term in a victim. Another short term effect associated with child sexual abuse is the feeling of shame and guilt. A study by done by researcher DeFrancis (1969) reported that 64% of the victims expressed feelings of guilt, as opposed to the 25% of victims in the report done by researcher '''Anderson et. al''' in (1981). This research indicates that victims of child sexual abuse often feel guilt and at fault shortly after the abuse is concluded.

Long Term Effects
Some long term effects of child sexual abuse may include self-esteem/self-image issues, issues establishing interpersonal relationships, and later sexuality problems. Herman's (1981) report showed showed that 60% of victims from his clinical sample had negative views on their self-image. Meaning that the victims generally pictured themselves in a negative way which furthermore led them to believe that others view them in the same way. In regards to establishing interpersonal relationships, 48% reported having a fear of men and 12% stated being fearful of women according to research done by Briere (1984). Furthermore, between 38%-48% of victims had abusive husbands or other adult partners who abused them as opposed to the 17% of non-victims. Researcher, Courtois (1979) noted that 80% of the former incest victims in her sample reported an inability to relax and enjoy sexual activity, an avoidance or abstention from sex, or, conversely, a compulsive desire for sex. In addition, prostitution has been shown to have a connection with sexual abuse endured as a child. Researchers James and Meyerding (1977), interviewed 136 prostitutes and found that 55% of the 136 prostitutes were victims of sexual abuse by someone 10 years or older.
