Reporting Sexual Abuse

Frequently Asked Questions About Sexual Abuse

From California Dept. of Justice, for About.com

Question:

What do I do, or whom do I tell, if I am sexually assaulted or my child is sexually abused?

Answer:

Ultimately, the choice of reporting the sexual assault is a choice that a victim or a victim's parent must make. Perhaps the best course of action is to call a rape crisis center to explore your options and what the implications might be for you.
