ABOUT BOY SCOUTS ABUSE
Sexual abuse occurs when there is undesired sexual behavior by one person upon another, this is also referred to as molestation. It often happens by taking advantage or using force on another. When force is of short duration or immediate, or infrequent it is called sexual assault.
The Boy Scouts of America® has filed for bankruptcy as it faces hundreds and hundreds of lawsuits from men who say they were sexually abused as scouts. Experts believe that over 12,000 men were victims of sexual abuse. As part of the Chapter 11 bankruptcy process, the Boy Scouts of America® has created a Victims Compensation Trust for survivors who had participated in its programs.
Children who are physically or sexually abused often show signs that should be taken seriously. Unfortunately, when children exhibit signs that something isn't right, it's often brushed off by parents, legal guardians, and other adults who should be alarmed.
SIGNS & SYMPTOMS
Signs of Boy Scout Abuse can manifest in numerous ways. Children are typically honest about how they feel. If they're experiencing physical pain, or are upset about something, they will likely express it in some way. Sadly, child predators also impose their will on children who don't have the ability to communicate. In addition, some predators convince children that abusive behavior is normal, making it less likely that children will speak up. However, there are many indisputable signs that may indicate that abuse has occurred. They include, but are not limited to:
-
Disrupted sleep and frequent nightmares
-
May seem withdrawn or distant
-
Depression, fear, anxiety, and mood swings
-
Loss of appetite or other changes in eating habits
-
Cuts, bruises, abrasions, skin discoloration, and burns
-
Pain, bleeding, or unusual discharge from the genitals
-
Sudden bed wetting
-
Running away from home
-
Drug or alcohol addiction
-
Self-injury
