This is a very sad and serious topic. A molested boy may experience long - term trauma. For example, in one story, a young boy was molested by an older neighbor. He became withdrawn and scared of being alone with adults. He started having nightmares and his school performance declined significantly. It took a lot of therapy and support from his family to start the healing process.
One story involves a boy who was molested in a religious institution. He was confused as he trusted the people there. The molestation made him question his faith and his sense of safety. It was a long journey for him to regain his trust in others. His parents finally noticed his distress and got him professional help.
