Not all victims of child abuse become abusers themselves.

Seeking help and healing from past traumas can significantly reduce the risk of becoming an abuser.

Sometimes abusive stepfathers target one child due to individual vulnerabilities or perceived threats to their control.

Abusers can manipulate situations to isolate, groom, and exploit certain children, leading to differential treatment within the family dynamic.
Child abuse occurs in all cultures and no single culture can be identified as tolerating or promoting a higher rate of child abuse compared to others. It is important to address the issue of child abuse as a societal problem that requires prevention, intervention, and support regardless of cultural background.

Sexual abuse of a child may result in altered sexuality in male children who have adult male abusers. However, the incidences of sexual abuse performed by women against female children are so rare that there has not been a study on whether or not this results in altered sexuality. In all cases, altered sexuality due to child sexual abuse changes the abused child's sexuality so that they become attracted by some quality of their abuser. This may be their gender, appearance, and/or personality. It does not always occur, and often even when it does occur, victims who find meaningful, healthy relationships move past it.
