1. the child is showing sign's of fears. The abuser is most likely a male and the child male develop a strong hate for all males in the future.

Ethical issues - parent may not know what is going on, he/she could be in denial. Child may cover up the story as he may be scared of what will happen next.

This sort of problems you would have to report to your room leader or the centre director, they will then follow up the claim with DHS or child protection.

Hope this helps. :)
