Know who is most vulnerable to abuse All children are vulnerable to poten al sexual abuse, but predators look for situa ons and circumstances to manipulate that may make some children more suscep ble than others. Many studies show that a higher percentage of young girls are vulnerable to sexual abuse than young males. Child abuse is a societal problem, and we must be aware of signs that indicate vulnerability or poten ally troubling circumstances – inappropriate rela onships between an adult and a young child, a child demonstra ng signs of abuse by his or her behavior. All children are our responsibility.
