Young people should avoid abuse, not simply recover from it. Sexual abuse is among the most serious issues that children and youth face. The thought of it is terrifying to parents and caring adults. The topic is difficult to discuss. The Abuse Algorithm shares the untold stories of child sexual abuse (CSA) survivors, along with insights from healthcare professionals who work with abuse victims. Author Shavontana Starr Davis, a CSA survivor, explores how CSA is a preventable public health crisis. Through research and interviews, Starr highlights the algorithm, or process, needed to deconstruct the antiquated societal perception of victimization and the misguided beliefs surrounding it. In doing so, she asks readers to:
- Carefully consider the difficult topics of CSA and Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs).
- Continue learning and exploring the impact of these topics.
- Pledge to become a trusted adult for young people.
The Abuse Algorithm outlines how CSA affects everyone: survivors, those close to them, and the community. Treat this book as a resource guide. Remember that no two experiences are the same, healing is an individual process, and education is the best chance for prevention.
