Child sexual abuse is the involvement of a child in sexual activity that he or she does not fully comprehend, is unable to give informed consent to, or that violates the laws or social taboos of society.
Shockingly the very institutions that should protect vulnerable children can place them at risk of horrific child sexual abuse. Lately, the rate of child sexual abuse in schools, colleges - educational institutions - is on the rise. Also, children of every gender, age, race, ethnicity, background, socioeconomic status and family structure are at risk.
