There is no guaranteed set of observable symptoms that become obvious when a child is suffering sexual abuse. The onset of touching, their reaction to the abuse, and their personality will all affect the behavioral signs of abuse. The behavioral changes most often noted in an abused child may include:
Fear of certain people or places or change in personality and demeanor when around abuser vs. safe people
Stomach illness, headaches, or other non specific complaints frequently verbalized with no physical, identifiable reason
An older child reverting to bed-wetting or thumb sucking
Sexual activities with toys or other children
Nightmares, trouble sleeping, fear of the dark, or other sleeping problems
New fears related to monters or non-specific evil
Spacing out at odd times
Loss of appetite, weight loss, refusal to eat, difficulty swallowing, fear of development and growth, difficulty swallowing
Sudden mood swings such as rage, fear, anger, or withdrawal, sadness
