Children with disabilities are especially at risk for all kinds of abuse. Abusers often believe that children with disabilities are unable to report the abuse. Some severely disabled children will be unable to verbalize the abuse, but in many situations, there are signs and symptoms. Read more about sex abuse of disabled children.
Children who are sexually, physically and mentally abused have legal rights, including the right to file criminal charges against their abusers. In some cases, civil justice may be appropriate.
