The Effect of Childhood Sexual Abuse on AdulthoodThe effects of childhood sexual abuse last forever in children. To what extent and what effects does abuse have on children as adults?

However, I think there is a general problem: we don't understand child sexual abuse and how to prevent it. References Easton, SD, Coohey, C., O'leary, P., Zhang, Y. and Hua, L . (2010).
