Title: What you Need to know about Molestation and Sexual Abuse
Topic: Molestation and Sexual Abuse
Discussed by Dr. Jared Pingleton
with Focus on the Family www.Family.org

Part 1 of 2

Disclaimer: Use caution when listening to this segment around young children. Issues discussed might be upsetting or hard for little ones to understand.

Over the past two weeks, the news has been filled with stories, speculation, and commentary about Josh Duggar, the eldest child of the famed reality-TV family, who confirmed allegations that he molested young girls as a teenager.

Although the Duggar controversy has brought molestation to the forefront, sexual abuse is sadly more common than most people think. The Center for Disease Control (CDC) estimates that approximately 1 in 6 boys and 1 in 4 girls are sexually abused before they turn 18.

As parents react to these news stories and statistics, they find themselves asking important questions. Dr. Jared Pingleton is a Clinical Psychologist and Director of Counseling Services at Focus on the Family. If you have questions or concerns about this topic, please listen in.
