How to discuss sexual abuse with a young person? Videos and instructions for a professional

This page has 6 videos produced by Save the Children Finland’s Finnish Hotline Nettivihje. The videos have information about child sexual abuse: identifying it, preventing it, reporting, and seeking support. The videos were made in collaboration with young people. After each video, there are tips for discussing the topic with young people.

Young people might experience sexual abuse on social media, such as requests, messages and photos with sexual content sent by an adult. Does the young person know that an adult is not allowed to send such messages to them? Would the young person recognise that also their peer can commit a crime, for example by refusing to remove from their phone someone’s nude photo, that was originally shared with consent?

Would the young person tell a safe adult, such as a parent, a teacher, a school health nurse, or a youth worker about the situation? According to the Grooming in the eyes of a child report by Save the Children Finland, many children and young people would not disclose their sexual abuse to an adult.
