Yes. A child acting sexually is a red flag, kind a weird that a health professional didn’t pick it up and just assumed a whole generation …
Wait, was the story fake? Kmao
Comment on How did easy access to Porn while growing up impacted Gen-Z ?
groet@feddit.org 5 weeks agoIsn’t a child acting sexually often a sign they were sexually abused? Maybe the problem isn’t gen alpha watching porn, but either more sexual abuse by their parents, or simply more awareness. Sometimes a problem appears new/rising when it was always there, just invisible.

I never said that the health professionals didn’t consider the possibility that these children were themselves sexually abused. Of course they did. I never said that the health professionals asked only about porn consumption but not about past sexual abuse. They make both inquiries. I wasn’t even necessarily making a causal argument, only pointing out the strong correlation. I can’t tell you, because I don’t know, how many of the children who consume pornography have also been sexually abused. I don’t have access to that information, I don’t work there. All I do know is that significant porn consumption (including kids being caught watching porn in school) is very common among these kids.
It’s not fake, I’m telling you what I know, you can choose to believe it or not, I don’t give a shit.

The two things are not mutually exclusive. One of the ways a parent can sexually abuse a child is showing them. Porn is often involved in child sexual abuse.
