[SHORTENED TITLE UP TO 50 CHARACTERS] 2 1) Children/teens that have experienced or witnessed a traumatic event can have many different reactions. When a child/teen experiences or witnesses a traumatic event they can turn to drugs, cannot stand to be touched, depression, anxiety, behavioral problems, nightmares, shut themselves off to the world, and so much more. “Intense and ongoing emotional upset, difficulties with self-regulation, problems relating to others or forming attachments, regression, or loss of previously acquired skills, attention and academic difficulties, difficulty sleeping and eating, and physical symptoms, such aches, and pains. Behave in risky ways or engage in unhealthy sexual activity.” (The National Child Traumatic Stress Network) 2) A child/teen needs to reach out and seek help for the traumatic event or events they have suffered through or witnessed. After the event or events, they can feel powerless, isolated, misunderstood, and most importantly like no one has ever had this happen to them before and that no one will believe them. They never feel safe, and it is hard for them to trust anyone. As someone who has been through something along these lines professionals did not help me, they made it worse. Some can be helped with professional help. Professional help can help the victims see their worth and show the victims that the offender does not hold any power over them, and they can make it through with different tools to help them. 3) Actions that adults can take are somewhat hard. Since the adults may not know what has transpired there is not much they can do. If the adults see different changes and their child/teen acting differently then they can get a professional for them to talk to. Adults can help by not making false promises, ensure their safety moving forward, make sure they have a voice if they cannot talk for themselves, help them walk

When an adult finds out about a traumatic event or events, they need to get them to the right person and make sure it gets reported so the offender cannot reoffend anyone else. 4) All states have different rules and laws in this area. The main thing is making sure the adult is not putting these ideas in the child/teen’s head and it is all a made-up story. Other adults have the responsibility to protect children/teens from abuse and neglect. Since each state differs on the laws from one another, the main thing they address is mandatory reporting, screenings, reports, proper maintenance, disclosure of records, domestic violence, and any other problems. Some states have immunity from prosecution for individuals who report suspected abuse or neglect.
