“…17 When sexual abuse is disclosed by child victims themselves, is discovered by other people 18,19 or by clinicians who treat them, it is recommended that other children in the same family environment be investigated too, 20,21 primarily because 70% of abuse is committed by family members or someone who frequents the family home. 5,7,[22][23][24] We emphasize that, in the present study, parents of children in the case group were more concerned and sensitized to the behavior, signs and symptoms exhibited by their children than were the parents of the children selected for the control group when attending routine consultations. This could be considered a possible bias to their responses to the questionnaire.…”

“…Neste contexto, para romper com o silêncio, a criança depende da iniciativa de terceiros, como educadores, vizinhos, amigos, profissionais de saúde, entre outros. 38 Esta circunstância nos leva à reflexão de que todos os profissionais que lidam direta e indiretamente com crianças precisam estar atentos para os sinais de abuso no sentido de interromper este evento silencioso e repetitivo.…”
