Sexual focus:
The intensity of pedophilic interest, the degrees to which offender are focused or fixated on children as sexual object.
Exclusivity of preference:
The exclusivity of accused preference for children as an easy and convincing sexual object.
Unreported Matters:
There are a large number of unreported matters of sexual assaults on children.
Social Competence:
Research shows that child molester who committed their first sexual offence in adolescence had histories that they being treated like impulsive or anti-social personality, society showed a high level of juvenile anti-social behaviour.
Variety of other factors:
Co-occurrence of other types of abuse; Mal-treatment and caregiver inconstancy to child –victims; Age at the onset of abuse; Duration of abuse; The child’s relation to the perpetrator; Violence of abuse or harassment; Poor social skills and easy to exploit; Children’s age to meet their psycho-sexual need, etc.
The majority of children hesitate to talk about abuse, especially in front of authorities like police and councils. One of the most upsetting aspects for the child is that the event may have involved a family member.
We would suggest that any reader with children explain what is suitable behaviour from a family member, and what is not, there are specialist books available online which can help, it is through education that children can learn what is, and is not appropriate, you should encourage children that telling another adult is not “breaking a secret”.
