When I was five I was sexually abused. I became hyper sexual at a young age and masturbated among other things at the age of 5 onward. I had a friend who was in a similar boat at that age, and we did stuff together. Also, if I was an older sibling, I might have even abused my younger brother or sister because I didn’t understand at that age and was so hyper sexual i didn’t care. How can you prevent this happening to your child? How can you prevent a older siblings or family member or even a friend abusing your child due to hormones, lack of understand, or previous abuse. I am talking about young or preteen children.
