Child molestation is a form of sexual abuse where an adult or older adolescent engages in sexual activities with a child. This can include inappropriate touching, exposing oneself, or forcing a child to participate in sexual acts. It is a serious crime that can have long-lasting effects on a child's emotional and psychological well-being. Victims of child molestation often experience feelings of confusion, fear, and shame. It is important for communities to be aware of this issue and to provide support for victims. Reporting suspected cases to authorities can help protect children and prevent further abuse.
