Re: Child Sexual Abuse Treatment

I guess you'll have to pull up the article and decide for yourself. I merely indicated that it supports my view, and that of other mental health professionals. You may not agree with me (and I amicably respect that) but I do believe that when there is such a size and mental maturity differential, as between a 12-year old and a 5 year-old, that the 5 year old is not cognitively (or perhaps physically) in a position to say no, so how can the child freely say yes? And unless that child can say yes freely, than it is coercive and therefore abusive, even if the 12 year old doesn't mean it to be. Just my position, but I won't move from that.
