Impacts on Early Emotional Development

As a woman, you cannot think about the emotional trauma that a woman go thought after a rape. Now think about this rape happening to a small child sometime as young as infants. This can be emotional trauma for an adult woman and can have lasting trauma to a smaller child. How can someone do this and why do this happen? This question has been asked by millions of women as they become victims of rape. Many of these children come from around the world. Some of these families are living in poverty. Some may be on drug or alcoholism or some are just friend or family member. Rape has been defined as intercourse without the consent or forces sexual activity.  The majority of the victim of sexual assault is women (Rautio, 2008).

Some of the physical conduction and injuries from rape can be painful and bruise.  Which cause irritation and tenderness in the vaginal area, vaginal and anal bleeding, or tearing in the virginal or rectal area?  Woman of rape can have a flash back and emotional and physical and psychological effect of rape for days, months and years. This is happen to children every day. As an educator, we have to be understanding when parent come to us to tell us about one of the children we see every day in our classroom. (James, 2013).   

As educators, you have a job of understand the children live and problem that may affect their development and learning. What would you think when a parent come to you and tell you her small child has been raped?  This is an emotional subject for adults.  This is the reason why this subject is important to me. Why would an adult or any man damage a child body? This is a question that psychologist asked because this is a crime that damage the victim emotional more than crimes on the property and any other criminal act.
