PHOENIX, AZ, November 10, 2009
/24-7PressRelease/ -- When your child is sick, worrying about their safety with a doctor should not be a concern. In Tempe, Mesa, Scottsdale, and surrounding areas there have been many cases where children were sexually abused by their doctors. These unlawful medical practitioners rarely have only one victim, so coming forward and talking about your concerns with an
Arizona personal injury attorney is the first step to bringing these perpetrators to justice. It is extremely difficult for a parent to go through this emotionally tragic event, and the legal steps can be overwhelming. An Arizona
personal injury lawyer can handle your case with the professionalism and sensitivity that your case needs. The emotional and physical consequences of child sexual abuse varies upon each case. Some can be lifelong issues and others require only a few months of treatment.
It may be more difficult to figure out if sexual abuse actually occurred between your physician and your child because you are uncertain on how to deal with it. Looking for warning signs may not prevent the abuse from occurring, but can help increase your awareness. Some warning signs include:
Warning Signs
• If the doctor requests to be completely alone in the room with your child.
• If your child complains about the doctor inappropriately touching them
• If you notice a shift in your child's behavior, or even a shift in their compliance to go to the doctor's office.
• The doctor requests to see your child outside of a hospital or doctors office environment.
• You notice odd bruising around your child's body while bathing or shortly after the exam.
There are many physical and emotional consequences that can occur when a child is abused by a medical practitioner. These consequences can result in thousands of dollars in medical bills for a situation that you should not have to pay for. Some examples of the type of physical and emotional abuse include:
