3. Child Predation Statistics
"The serial killer has the same personality
characteristics as the sex offender against children“ -Dr.
Mace Knapp, Nevada State Prison Psychologist.
There are 400,000 registered sex offenders in the United
States, and an estimated 80 to 100,000 of them are
missing. They're supposed to be registered, but we
don't know where they are and we don't know where
they're living.
The most serious and chronic offenders often show
signs of antisocial behavior as early as the preschool
years.
It is estimated that between 1% and 5% of our
population molest children .
Nearly all the offenders in sexual assaults reported to law
enforcement were male (96%).
4. Overall, 23% of sexual assault offenders were under the 18
and 77% were adults.
40% of the offenders of victims under age 6 were
themselves juveniles. A similar proportion (39%) of offenders
of victims ages 6 through 11 were also juveniles. For older
juvenile victims, the proportion of juvenile offenders dropped
to 27%.
Adults were the offender in 60% of the sexual assaults of
youth under age 12. Rarely were the offenders of young
victims strangers. Strangers were the offender in just 3% of
sexual assaults against victims under age 6 and 5% of the
sexual assault of victimizations of youth ages 6 through 11.
1 in 5 violent offenders serving time in a state prison
reported having victimized a child.
2/3 of all prisoners convicted of rape or sexual assault had
committed their crime against a child.
5. Acquaintance perpetrators are the most common abusers,
constituting approximately 70-90% of all reported perpetrators.
89% of child sexual assault cases involve persons known to the
child, such as a caretaker or family acquaintance.
29% of child sexual abuse offenders are relatives, 60% are
acquaintances, and only 11% are strangers.
For the vast majority of child victimizers in State prison, the victim
was someone they knew before the crime. 1/3 had committed their
crime against their own child, about 1/2 had a relationship with the
victim as a friend, acquaintance, or relative other than offspring,
about 1 in 7 reported the victim to have been a stranger to them.
3/4 of the violent victimizations of children took place in either the
victim's home or the offenders home.
About 60% of the male survivors sampled report at least one of
their perpetrators to be female.
6. Many clinical settings currently are witnessing a dramatic
increase in the number of adolescent offenders who have
committed sexually aggressive acts against other children.
While nearly 70% of those serving time for violent crimes
against children were white, whites accounted for 40% of those
imprisoned for violent crimes against adults.
Inmates who victimized children were less likely than other
inmates to have a prior criminal record-nearly 1/3 of child
victimizers had never been arrested prior to the current offense,
compared to less than 20% of those who victimized adults.
50% of reported child molestations involve the use of physical
force and child molesters produce as much visible physical
injury as rapists-39% of victims.
More than 1/2 of all convicted sex offenders are sent back to
prison within a year. Within 2 years, 77.9% are back.
7. Recidivism rates range from 18-45%. The
more violent the crime the more likelihood of
repeating.
Like rape, child molestation is one of the most
underreported crimes: only 1-10% are ever
disclosed.
The behavior is highly repetitive, to the point of
compulsion, rather than resulting from a lack of
judgment.
Bottom Line – WATCH YOUR CHILDREN.
LOOK FOR SIGNS OF WITHDRAWAL AND
CAREFULLY DO A PERSONAL INVENTORY
OF WHO THEY COME IN CONTACT WITH
ON A DAILY BASIS.
8. Cyber-Bullying Statistics
The American Academy of Pediatrics calls cyberbullying the
―most common online risk for all teens.‖
Cyberbullying is deliberately using digital media to
communicate false, embarrassing, or hostile information
about or to another person.
Types of Bullying Online
There are many types of cyberbullying:
Gossip: Posting or sending cruel gossip to damage a
person’s reputation and relationships with friends, family, and
acquaintances.
Exclusion: Deliberately excluding someone from an online
group.
9. Impersonation: Breaking into someone’s e-mail or other online
account and sending messages that will cause embarrassment
or damage to the person’s reputation and affect his or her
relationship with others.
Harassment: Repeatedly posting or sending offensive, rude,
and insulting messages.
Cyberstalking: Posting or sending unwanted or intimidating
messages, which may include threats.
Flaming: Online fights where scornful and offensive messages
are posted on websites, forums, or blogs.
Outing and Trickery: Tricking someone into revealing secrets
or embarrassing information, which is then shared online.
Cyberthreats: Remarks on the Internet threatening or implying
violent behavior, displaying suicidal tendencies.
10. Cyber-Bullying Facts
32% of online teens say they have been targets of a range of
annoying or potentially menacing online activities. 15% of teens
overall say someone has forwarded or posted a private message they’ve
written, 13% say someone has spread a rumor about them online, 13%
say someone has sent them a threatening or aggressive message, and
6% say someone has posted embarrassing pictures of them online.
38% of online girls report being bullied, compared with 26% of online
boys. In particular, 41% of older girls (15-17) report being bullied—more
than any other age or gender group.
39% of social network users have been cyberbullied in some way,
compared with 22% of online teens who do not use social networks.
15% of teens on social networks have experienced someone being
mean or cruel to them on a social network site. There are no
statistically significant differences by age, gender, race, socioeconomic
status, or any other demographic characteristic.
11. 20% of teens (12-17) say “people are mostly unkind” on online
social networks. Younger teenage girls (12-13) are considerably more
likely to say this. One in three (33%) younger teen girls who use social
media say that people their age are ―mostly unkind‖ to one another on
social network sites.
13% of teens who use social media (12-17) say they have had an
experience on a social network that made them feel nervous about
going to school the next day. This is more common among younger
teens (20%) than older teens (11%).
88% of social media-using teens say they have seen someone be
mean or cruel to another person on a social network site. 12% of these
say they witness this kind of behavior ―frequently.‖
When teens see others being mean or cruel on social networks,
frequently 55% see other people just ignoring what is going on,
27% see others defending the victim, 20% see others telling the
offender to stop, and 19% see others join in on the harassment.
12. 36% of teens who have witnessed others being cruel on social
networks have looked to someone for advice about what to do.
67% of all teens say bullying and harassment happens more offline
than online.
1 in 6 parents know their child has been bullied over social media.
In over half of these cases, their child was a repeat victim. Over half of
parents whose children have social media accounts are concerned
about cyberbullying and more than three-quarters of parents have
discussed the issue of online bullying with their children.
11% of middle school students were victims of cyberbullying in the
past two months. Girls are more likely than boys to be victims or
bully/victims.
“Hyper-networking” teens (those who spend more than three hours
per school day on online social networks) are 110% more likely to be a
victim of cyberbullying, compared to those who don’t spend as much
time on social networks.
13. Effects of Cyber-Bullying
While bullying through physical intimidation has long been a problem among
teenagers, cyberbullying by using computers and smart phones to send rumors
or post cruel messages has become more prevalent in recent years.
Even though there might not be physical injuries, cyberbullying leaves deep
emotional scars on the victim.
Warning signs of being cyberbullied can include:
•appearing sad, moody, or anxious
•avoiding school
•withdrawing from social activities
•experiencing a drop in grades
•appearing upset after using the computer
•appearing upset after viewing a text message
14. In extreme cases, physical bullying and online bullying can
drive a child or teen to deep depression and even suicide
(sometimes called ―bullycide‖). Since 1983, over 150 children
have taken their own lives due, in part, to the extreme
pressure of being bullied.
When it comes to suicides related to cyberbullying, some
names have made national headlines in recent years.
Ryan Halligan (2003) may be the earliest known case of
suicide provoked by Internet taunts, but unfortunately many
others have followed:
Jeffrey Johnston (2005), Kristina Calco (2006), Rachael
Neblett (2006), Megan Meier (2006), Jesse Logan (2008),
Alexa Berman (2008), Michael Joseph Berry (2008), Iain
Steele (2009), Hope Wittsell (2009), Tyler Clementi (2010),
Ashley Rogers (2010), Alexis Skye Pilkington (2010), Phoebe
Prince (2010), and Amanda Cummings (2011).
15. The Most Horrible Fact of All
Child Predation dates back
centuries and is not going away
unless WE make it go away!
Cyber-Bullying will continue if
allowed to continue and action
must be taken to stop it!
16. Child Abduction
Child abduction or Child theft is the unauthorized removal of a minor (a child
under the age of legal adulthood) from the custody of the child's natural parents
or legally appointed guardians.
The term child abduction confounds two legal and social categories which differ
by their perpetrating contexts: abduction by members of the child's family or
abduction by strangers:
Parental child abduction: a family relative's (usually parent's) unauthorized
custody of a child without parental agreement and contrary to family law ruling,
which largely removes the child from care, access and contact of the other parent
and family side. Occurring around parental separation or divorce, such parental or
familial child abduction may include parental alienation, a form of child abuse
seeking to disconnect a child from targeted parent and denigrated side of family.
17. Abduction or kidnapping by strangers (from outside the family, natural or
legal guardians) who steal a child for criminal purposes which may include:
•Extortion, to elicit a ransom from the guardians for the child's return
•illegal adoption, a stranger steals a child with the intent to rear the child as
their own
•Human trafficking, a stranger steals a child with the intent to exploit the
child themselves or by trade in a list of possible abuses including slavery,
forced labor, sexual abuse, or even illegal organ trading and murder
Abductions by strangers
The stereotypical version of child abduction by a stranger is the classic form of
"kidnapping," exemplified by the Lindbergh kidnapping, in which the child is
detained, transported some distance, held for ransom or with intent to keep the
child permanently. These instances are, however, rare.
18. Parents…do you know?
Do you know where your kids are?
Do you know who their friends are?
Do you know where they hang out?
Are you aware of their activities?
Do you talk with their teachers and school
administrators?
Do you ever sit down and just talk to them?
Do you observe them for any changes in
behavior, appearance, or change in routine?
Do you monitor their computer usage, cell phone
usage?
Do you set boundaries and rules in their lives?
Do you do any activities with your kids?
Who are their mentors? Who do they look up to?
