Medical Center According to a Duke University Medical Center social worker, talking with children who are suspected victims of sexual abuse not only helps determine if abuse has actually occurred, but is also the beginning of an important therapeutic process for the child. "The (sexually abused) child is a victim in two processes -- the abuse and 'the system,' " said Nancy Berson, coordinator of Duke's child protection team. Her lecture on interviewing sexually abused children was part of a series spon sored by the schools of medicine at Duke and the University of North Carolina. For the therapeutic process to begin, Berson said, the abused child needs to feel comfortable about discussing what has occur red. "Too often, parents pressure children to talk when they aren't ready," Berson said. "If you don't get answers, I don't think you should pressure children. You should let them know it's okay if they're not ready to talk." Sexually abused children may not feel comfortable discussing their situation with parents, Ber son said. In such cases she en courages parents to involve profes sional counselors from medical or mental health institutions or social service agencies. She added that sexually abused children who are able to discuss the abuse with their parents should still be taken to a doctor for a physical exam. One reason sexually abused children may feel reluctant to talk with parents is that children most often know their abusers. In 96 percent of sexual abuse cases seen at Duke, the children knew the perpetrators, Berson said. Fathers, stepfathers or mothers' boyfriends were responsible for the abuse in 43 percent of cases. "The sexual abuser is not the stranger who offers the child candy - it's Uncle Joe or Daddy," she said. Abuse by women does occur, but it is much less frequent. Sexual abuse of children usually occurs over a long period and can begin in infancy, Berson said, add ing that victims as young as eight months old have been seen at Duke in the past year. The abuse usually intensifies as the child grows older. The average age of sexual abuse victims seen at Duke is 5.7 years for girls and 7.6 years for boys, Berson said. Girls were victims in 83% of the cases. "There's a lack of data about boys," Berson said. "It's difficult for boys in our society to admit they've been molested." Berson noted that at Duke there was physical evidence of sexual abuse in only 45 percent of cases. "That's the most important statistic to us," she said. "In the majority of cases there is no physical evidence whatsoever." Signals that may indicate a child has been sexually abused include nightmares, bedwetting, new fears of men or all adults, sexual knowledge inappropriate for the child's age, withdrawal or com plaints of stomach arches or a sore bottom, although other reasons may account for these problems. Health care providers and social workers rely on a variety of techni ques to build rapport with children and make them feel comfortable discussing sexual abuse. Art therapy, writing on a chalkboard or paper and use of dolls or pup pets are all useful techniques, Ber son said. ? The use of dolls in working with sexual abuse victims has attracted wide attention, Berson said, but she recommends the technique on ly for those with proper training -- not parents. Often more than one interview is necessary to assess the situation. For both parents and counselors of sexually abused children, Ber son said, it's important not to ask "why" questions or to phrase any question in a way that implies the child has done something wrong. When an abused child feels com fortable talking about the situa tion, she said, the guiding principle for parents and counselors should be to believe and offer support to the child. According to one study, no more than two or three children per thousand have been found to invent or aggravate claims of sex ual abuse or molestation. "Give assurance," Berson said. "These children need to be told it was not their fault." Safety wtnner Bruce Butler is the Safety Suggestion Winner for the month of August. Bruce will receive for his suggestion a $25.00 gift certificate from the Burlington Employee Store, reserved parking for a month, and a certificate of appreciation. His suggestion was to place a light over the steps behind the Shop 's back door. There is not adequate lighting in this area and could cause a tripping hazard.
