View Full Version : What are the signs of an infants sexual abuse?
I hope that you respond to this. I am a single mother, who of course has to put my son in day care. I am already a little, well alot paranoid of day....care As I worked at one that I had my child in and chose to quit and remove my child, as they had too many children, I believe to take care of and were a little wore out. Now I have been with a home daycare, which I did not want to do. He seems to enjoy it there...........but there are many questionable things, which I try to blow off because not all people raise kids the same. And I am the mother and all the better treat them as I do....blah...blah...yes have taken that into acct. But my child since going to this woman, the last 2 months, has bucked and been crazy about me changing his diaper.....every time! Never before, but at my previous job at daycare children do want to get away and off the changing table and such. But not like this, I try to put Desitin on and he freaks.And now he looks as if he has open skinon his inner anus. Can this be from new foods tried, am I insane/too paranoid/or what? What are the signs of an infants sexual abuse? And how....if needed do I request a surprise visit from the state or have an investigation done. As she is state certified daycare and foster parent home. Please respond.

In our opinion you need to immediately take your son to his pediatrician. Since there seems to be both physical and emotional issues involved we strongly suggest you consult a professional. Always trust your instincts.

it'sounds like he may have been molested and since he's a minor then he go straight to the doctor immediatly please do so for the sake of the child. it's very important.

I am having trouble believing that you have even wasted as much time as it would take to write your message. I would have had him checked out at first inkling!!!

Yes, the pediatrician needs to be informed and there are forsensic tests that can be done to look for damage. I have seen where if a child cannot talk they show signs like "humping" things. A good sign for an older child if deficating themselves. I have seen this all the way up into pre teens. I have also seen children (all children get curious so I am not talking about looking and feeling) do things to other children that they would only know if they seen it or if this act was done to them. Just go with your gut and most likely it is right. God blessed us with motherly instinct for a reason.

Your child's safety IS your responsibilty--if you have ANY reason to believe their is sexual abuse you need to take him/her to a doctor. Nothing more needs to be said-just do it. Noone needs to know you went-if there is signs, your doctor will call authorities for you. THEN YOU TAKE ACTION w/ them-and get this monster out of care. YOU are the child's mother-he/she LOOKS UP TO YOU for help. I sure hope this is just a stage your child is going through.
GOOD LUCK
