Accepted Answer

According to various studies, family members of the child (including parents, step-parents, grandparents, and siblings) are the most common perpetrators of child sexual abuse, accounting for approximately 30-50% of all cases.

Question 2

Child sexual abuse includes which of the following conditions

Accepted Answer

Child sexual abuse includes any sexual activity with a child that is intended to sexually arouse or gratify an adult or older child. This includes any sexual contact or behavior that involves touching, exposure, or exploitation, regardless of whether there is actual penetration. The involvement of a family member or the age of the offender does not determine whether an act constitutes child sexual abuse. However, for an act to be considered child sexual abuse, it must cause harm to the child's physical, emotional, or psychological well-being or threaten it. Thus, option C is the best choice as it is the only option that fits the definition of child sexual abuse.

Factor D listed in one of the answer choices is not part of Finkelhor's Four Preconditions Model.

Question 6

Young boys may be victims of child sexual abuse. Which of the following is a reason that they may not report these acts or incidents?

Additionally, boys may not have to account for their movements to the same degree as girls, so their abuse may go unnoticed (option B).
