This paper (Adams et al, Pediatrics. 1994;94:310-317) causes us great concern and if not challenged will be quoted by every advocate the world over to dismiss the validity of physical signs seen in association with child sexual abuse (CSA) at a time when experienced researchers are making sense of a difficult clinical area. The legal data on the cases is incomplete, and any possible correlation between the physical signs and the crime committed was irrelevant because of plea bargaining but also poor clinical date.

The World

Child sexual abuse is a common phenomenon the world over. Due to poverty and other socio-economic challenges bedevilling the country, this social vice is fast escalating in Zimbabwe, taking its toll on defenceless and vulnerable members of society. The advent of HIV and AIDS has left many children without parents, thereby further exposing them to abuse from both strangers and close guardians. Using evidence from literature, this paper seeks to unpack the prevalence of this social vice situating the role of social workers in efforts to curb it. Utilising the socio-ecological framework as an analytic and intervention tool and model, the paper notes that the current approaches employed by social workers are remedial or curative rather than sustainable and proactive. It is from this understanding that a more sustainable approach is advocated.

The World

Conducting interviews with witnesses and suspects is a core function of policing across the world. Child sexual abuse is broadly described as any sexual activity involving a child where consent is not or cannot be given. Child sexual abuse differs from other types of childhood victimization in that there is usually no witness apart from the victim and the accused and often no physical evidence. This chapter aims to summarize the components that play important role during the investigative interviewing of children. In addition to that, the role of the interviewers, interview aids, cognitive interview, risks of repeated interviewing of children, and effects of child sexual abuse on children will be outlined. This chapter will also give information about the child interviewing centers that are still being used actively in Turkey.

Mother Blame

Mothers are blamed for a variety of negative experiences and outcomes of their children, including child sexual abuse (CSA). According to just world hypothesis (JWH), people have a need to view the world as one where there is no such thing as an innocent victim; that is, the world is fair and just. These beliefs predict victim blaming in situations such as sexual abuse, physical abuse, and robbery. However, JWH has not been applied to the examination of mother blame, a situation in which the blame target did not directly experience the traumatic event. We examined this application in two studies: (a) a thematic analysis of focus group discussions and (b) a correlational study. Across both studies, participants identified personal characteristics of the mother that either increased or decreased blame, consistent with JWH. However, when directly asked, most participants denied holding just world beliefs, particularly as related to child sexual abuse. Our results indicate that methodological choices might affect results, and that socially constructed views of “ideal mothers” influence mother blame. We discuss implications for validity of just world theory (JWT), methodological choices, and reduction of mother blame.
