CONT

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.

OBS

Related terms include "fondling", "lewd touching" and, at the opposite end of the spectrum, "good touch".

DEF

Toucher qui constitue de l'exploitation sexuelle.

OBS

«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.
