Very young children do not understand that the activity was inappropriate morally, but they still have a sense that something is wrong. They will act out inappropriately. They may exhibit a lack of trust because they have been violated or conversely they may exhibit too much trust in strangers because a parent has permitted the violation and they no longer find safety with the parent. They may mumble odd things because they want to "disclose" but are afraid too. Social Services should not be called in unless you have no choice. They are too pressured to properly evaluate a child that young. It often takes hours of getting to know the child and objective evaluation to get at the truth, they don't have the time or the training. Ask your doctor or go to the local emergency room for a referral to a good child psychologist or therapist who can make a proper evaluation. Sexual abuse of children is much higher than society admits, ask around and you will find someone with the proper training.

How do you tell if your toddler has been touched sexually?

A traumatic experience for any toddler, there are some signs and "symptoms" of previous sexual abuse towards him or her. Some signs that may possibly indicate some sort of sexual abuse are: * Any sudden obsession with his or her own genitals outside of normal "exploration" that toddlers sometimes practice. * Redness or swelling around the genitals and/or anus. * Sudden recognition of sexual terminology or subjects. * Sudden changes in behavior: moodiness, sullen, violence, etc. Sexual abuse is commonly committed by a friend or family member. Never leave your child with someone whom you do not fully trust. Take your child to his or her pediatrician for an exam if you suspect the toddler has been abused. If your pediatrician finds evidence, he or she will advise you of the protocol in your area for reporting sexual abuse.
