Parents teach their children to respect adults, and therefore, they are susceptible to sexual abusers. Relatives, teachers, clergy, babysitters, daycare providers, and medical professionals are regularly found to be the perpetrators of child sexual abuse. Generally, the abuser is in a position of authority and uses that authority to manipulate the victim.
Child sexual abuse is hard on parents and kids. We aggressively pursue not just the perpetrator of the sexual assault, but any other party that is negligent in overseeing the contact between adults and children.
Our attorneys are committed to helping children and families hold people and institutions responsible for child sexual abuse. We recognize that no amount of compensation can restore what has been lost. However, we can help ensure that victims have access to counselors and therapists who can help them cope with what they have endured. We must help our children survive these awful events.
