'Children have a lot to say about their own sexual abuse. Their stories show they know far more than adults realize.  Children often think that sexual abuse is their fault. They think they were supposed to have been able to stop the abuse.

This article is a chapter from the book Child Sexual Abuse: From Harsh Realities to Hope.'
