Abstract

The impact of sexual abuse on children's development of attachment behaviour is especially disastrous when the abuse happens early in childhood, and when it lasts over a long period of time, and in case the abuser is closely related to the child. These early traumatic experiences regularly result in damages to the mental, physical and emotional development of a child. The main task of youth welfare is to protect children against maltreatment. For being able to do so it is significant to emphasize a scientific approach to the hypothesis-based risk evaluation and the conceptualization of intervention. In order to come to a sound conclusion the agencies and professionals involved in a case of child abuse have to collaborate professionally. Potential misunderstandings between the collaborating partners in this procedure will be discussed, as well as the way out of the labyrinth.
