“From the viewpoint of the survivor encompassing the emotional, mental, spiritual and/or physical damage done to the child —
Incest is a betrayal of trust, an overt and covert sexual contact or act which possibly includes: touching or non-touching, verbal seduction or abuse, intercourse, sodomy, anal intercourse, direct threats, implied threats, or other forms of abuse, between people who are closely related or perceived themselves to be closely related or in whom a child perceives trust; such as, mother, father, grandfather, grandmother, aunt, uncle, cousin, stepparents, stepsiblings, half siblings, live-in lovers, brother, sister, neighbor, family friend, babysitter, or professionals such as: teacher, professor, school principal, nurse, doctor, orderly, therapist, social worker, minister, priest, nun, shopkeeper, scout leader, laborer, workman, pilot, military personnel, lawyer, judge, policeman, foster parent, politician, corporate executive, and any other occupation.”

When this trust between a child and an older child, sibling, parent-figure, or other adult is violated, that act becomes incestuous.
We put full responsibility on the initiator for whatever took place.
The child’s age may range from newborn, preschool, school-age, teenager, and older.
