Sexual abuse
Your body is private. This is especially true for parts that are covered by a bathing suit, boy or girl. If someone makes you or tricks you into letting them touch, see, photograph or videotape those parts of your body, then they are abusing you. Also, if they are showing you, or getting you to touch those parts of their body or another persons body (either real, toy, photographs or videotapes), then they are abusing you.
Sometimes your doctor may have to touch your private parts during a check-up or if you are sick, this is not sexual abuse when it is done in the presence of your parent or guardian. And when little kids need help with their baths or need their diapers changed, that kind of touch is not scary or uncomfortable and is not sexual abuse either.
