Victims of Child Pornography
Victimization through child pornography will never end. Victims who are subjected to this type of abuse have their images placed on the internet for others to view. Unfortunately, the content can never be fully erased or recovered. Instead, they continue to pass from person to person.
Children who are victims often endure immediate consequences. Many victims suffer from physical injuries and pain, feelings of shame, anger, confusion, and unworthiness. They may also become withdrawn or isolate themselves. Unfortunately, many victims become depressed, anxious, or suffer from posttraumatic stress disorder. Additional impacts include:
- Distorted and unhealthy sexuality
- Problems establishing and maintaining healthy relationships with others
- Engaging in risky behaviors (promiscuity, self-mutilation, substances abuse)
- Greater risk of getting ensnared in sexual exploitation
