THE CARES (Child Abuse Response and EvaluationS) examination is provided for those children who may have experienced age-inappropriate sexual activities.
These
children are at risk for trauma to their genitals and bottom, as well as sexually transmitted diseases. In addition, children and adolescents often express significant concerns about their body’s health and “intactness.” These are best addressed in the context of a complete medical history and head to toe medical examination.
All children can benefit from a comprehensive medical evaluation; even though the last suspected contact may have been years earlier.
The medical examination is reassuring to the child and parent, and is one of the first steps in the process of healing following sexual abuse.
