What is the molestation of children?

• fondling or touching
• exposing adult genitals to a child
• showing pornography or sexually explicit movies/magazines/photos to a child
• sexual activity such as vaginal or anal intercourse or oral contact with the genitals
• deviant sexual activity (includes such sexual activities as sadomasochism, bondage, etc...)

Child molesters can use many methods such as:

• grooming, coaxing and talking the child into sexual activity
• forcing, intimidating or threatening the child (threatening to hurt the child or others close to the child) into sexual activity

Child molesters most often "groom" and manipulate child victims into complying with sexual activity. This is done by giving the child all sorts of things like gifts and being very attentive and affectionate. Some people do this to the parents to gain their trust giving them "access" to the child.

The pedophile
Very difficult to treat this type of offender and must have very specialized treatment.

The situational pedophile
This person is thought to molest a child because they are inappropriately responding to a particular situation. Treatment for this type of offender is much more successful with professional counseling and treatment.

The misguided molester
Many "misguided" molesters were sexually abused as children and raised in a culture where sexual activity with children was considered "normal" and acceptable. Others have trouble with boundaries and cannot understand the difference bewteen loving and sexual relationships. Professionals can help these people through education and counseling.
