What is Sexual Abuse?   

If someone is touching you in a sexual way and you are not sure how you feel about it…

If you are being touched by a family member, adult friend or someone else, and it makes you uncomfortable, unhappy, or confused…

You may be the victim of sexual abuse.

It is not your fault. You don't have to keep this a secret anymore. If this is happening or has happened in the past, it is important to tell someone who will listen and believe you. You may have mixed feelings about the other person involved and about telling someone. Talking with someone can help you sort out your feelings and find ways to begin to help yourself.

To officially report sexual abuse by a parent or guardian, call New York State Child Abuse Hotline, 1-800-342-3720.

The  organizations below can also provide information and/or assistance.
