How to tell if your 5 year old daughter was sexually abused?

• Im Sure If She Did Get Raped She Would Be Tramatized;Most Of Children Being Raped Or Sexually Assaulted Become Very Aware & Are Scared To Tell Someone;I Mean Yeah Shes Too Young To Know Whats Happening But Im Sure If Shes Unconftible With Someone Or Something She Would Be Acting Weird Towards Men..

There’s no way to tell for sure unfortunately. Even with a rape kit coming out negative, there’s still a chance that it happened. I am very sorry you are having to deal with this. I cant imagine how difficult it must be to think that you baby was violated in such a way. It is very possible that she cannot remember. She is very young and when we’re young, it’s hard to process things like that. The brain will protect itself by shutting out disturbing memories. Also she’s young, so sexual assault doesnt mean much to her. She doesnt even understand the concept, making it that much harder to process what is going on. Sexual assault on children is not something I have much knowledge or information on, I wouldnt suggest you try to do this on your own (because the last thing you want to do is plant memories). I think you need to consult a child psychologist who has worked with sexually abused children. And your counselor is right, those behaviors do raise red flags.

Meaby have her take a test, but a five year old would remember Im sure sience at a young age like that we always remember what happens to us the most. And im sure she would have told you, she is inocent so she would have told you as if nothing was wrong with it.

But meaby have a coulcelor talk to her, in a profecional way.

Yes there is away they can do it with a rape kit. I was molested when I was 5. SOme kids dont remeber or some kids remeber but think its out of love. Let the professionals talk to her they can usually break the guard with the right question. Good luck to you and your daughter both. If you need anything else just ask.

A test is highly recommended bc of the innopropriate behaviors. Children are smart and act what they feel, see, or want, to express themselves. Shes telling you something, thats a sign. It may not b that big of an issue w/her, may b she just saw thing she shouldnt have. You as a parent need 2 get 2 the bottom of it, by testin or whatever. To get through this and get her the proper care. Not only that she about to start school and she needs to beaware of her privacies, especially to respect themsevles and others.
