There are thousands of children being molested everyday. The majority of the children that are being molested are being molested right at home by a family member or a friend of the families. Alot of family members don't know the signs of molestation or they overlook the acts of a child being molested, so in my article through my own experiences of being a child molested by a family member I hope what I went through will shed a little light on what to look out for:

1.) A child that cry's continously when you drop them off at a sisters, family members, day care, etc. or cries when you leave them out home with a person and they never use to cry in the past.

2.) When your child tells you that there's monster in the closet or coming out of a vent and they just can't sleep because they were told this from the one molesting them.

3.) your child suddenly at night is taking off there clothes and your finding them naked in the morning.

4.) When your child is suddenly wetting the bed for no apparent reason and they never done that in the past.

5.) If your child is being molested at home your child suddenly is by your side at all times and doesn't want to leave your side or suddenly they want to start sleeping in your bed with you.

6.) A sign that I noticed is when you ask your child if someone's doing things to them and they have the look of fear in there eye's and there very quiet because the one that's molesting them is in the room with both of you when asked.

7.) A dramatic drop in school grades at school and suddenly your getting notices home with your child that there not listening and doing there work during class time.

8.) If your child is female your child will suddenly complain of her vaginal area being sore when she urinates or her private area is red routinely even though she was tested for an infection. If male they"ll also complain of the penis area hurting as well.

9.) You'll also notice your child not listening to what there told to do, they have behavioral out breaks and develope an hate attitude towards everything.

10.) You also notice out of now where your child will start calling themselves stupid and they"ll start hitting themselves in the head.

These are a few things that I have experienced and have seen happen with children that have been molested. If you feel your child is being molested don't be afraid to ask them but do it in a room where no one else is around, reassure your child that it's ok to tell you and that you wouldn't get mad and that it's not there fault, also reassure that if someone told them that they would hurt you or them that is't not going to happen that it's all lies, If that's one thing a molester does is they put fear into children that if they tell that they'll hurt them or a family member. If your child say's it's a family memeber don't doubt them by thinking no that couldn't be because I'm sorry to tell you YES it can be and it probably is cause most of the time it happens with in the family. I hope these things that I listed are an eye opener because many people don't know what to look for or understand why there's a change in there childs' behavior and maybe you need to ask yourself if this could be happening to your child.
