To Sexual Abusers of Children...
| "Nothing in all creation is hidden from God's sight. Everything is uncovered and laid bare before the eyes of Him to whom we must give account." (Hebrews 4:13) "But if anyone causes one of these little ones who believe in me to sin, it would be better for him to have a large millstone hung around his neck and to be drowned in the depths of the sea" (Matthew 18:6) |
Why Adults (and even older Children) Sexually Abuse Children...
Contributing Factors that may come into play... Why the Sexual Abuse of Children happens... This is not an all inclusive list & some of the reasons may overlap...
We believe the Primary Factors are...
Control/Dominance/Power
&
Learned Behavior, Confusion & Inappropriate/No Boundaries
Clarification... We know without any doubt that not all who were sexually abused as children will grow up & sexually abuse children. However, we feel strongly that
most Sexual Abusers of Children were they themselves abused.
God created us in His image & loves us enough that He gives us the right to Choose... to make choices in life. When someone sexually abuses a child, their horrible
(unthinkable to most) choice harms an innocent child leaving lifelong scars.

The Typical Abuser...
| "Notoriously friendly, nice, kind, engaging and likeable." "Target their victims, often insinuating themselves into that child’s life – their family, school, house of worship, sports and hobbies." "Professional con artists and are expert at getting children and families to trust them." "Will smile at you, look you right in the eye and make you believe they are trustworthy." [According to Child Lures Prevention @ www.childluresprevention.com] |
The Abuser's Strategy...
| "Affection Lure... Most victims are “groomed” over a period of weeks, months or years. Used both offline and online to seduce unsuspecting youngsters in need of love and attention." "Repeated Comment from Child Molesters... "When there’s a Physically or Emotionally absent parent in the picture, it makes the child more vulnerable than ever.' " According to Child Lures Prevention @ www.childluresprevention.com |
