TY - JOUR PY - 2007// TI - When children sexually abuse other children JO - Journal of the arkansas medical society A1 - Worley, Karen Boyd A1 - Church, Janice K. SP - 205 EP - 208 VL - 103 IS - 8 N2 - Sexual behaviors in preschool and school age children range from developmentally expected behaviors to those that may be classified as abusive to other children. This article discusses Arkansas statistics on the incidence of children with problematic sexual behaviors, proposed typologies for these behaviors, and the relationship of sexual acting out to sexual victimization. We also address assessment and treatment referral options for the child with sexual behavior problems as well as physician responsibilities for reporting to the Child Abuse Hotline and managing suspected sexual abuse victimization.
