The sexual abuse of children and young people can occur as a single incident or inappropriate sexual behaviour that happens over a period of time. It usually involves the touching of a child's sexual parts by a teenager or an adult and may also include intercourse. Children in schools are being taught about good touches and sexually abusive touching. 3, record 1, English, - bad%20touch

«Attouchement», qui signifie « toucher causant un plaisir sexuel ou exprimant l'attrait physique », a une forte connotation sexuelle et est le plus souvent péjoratif. Les termes «mauvais toucher» et «toucher inacceptable» ont l'avantage d'être simples et faciles à comprendre lorsqu'on veut s'adresser à de jeunes enfants. 1, record 1, French, - mauvais%20toucher
