Last month was very active at Texas Children's in observance of Child Abuse Awareness and Prevention Month. As we begin May, I wanted to discuss a subject that is particularly difficult for parents and professionals alike — dealing with child sexual abuse. I know of no people who find this an "easy" topic. A smart woman and former supervisor of mine told me once that "sexual abuse usually does not injure the body, but it devastates the soul."

I've only been at Texas Children's for a few short weeks, but this past weekend, I had the chance to experience something very special.

Imagine for a moment that you have a toothache, and need help. The problem is you can only make one sound, and it's the same sound you make for everything else that you need. All you can do is make it louder or softer, but it's still only one sound. How hard would it be to let someone know using only verbal communication that your back molar was causing shooting pain, and that you were absolutely miserable? And how frustrating would it be for someone who wanted to help you, but couldn't understand what you needed?
