ABSTRACT
Child sexual abuse is a complex topic which should be treated in a serious and responsable way, above all because it has been increasing in an alarming way in the last times. In the work, this important topic is analized, and evidencies of 4 sexual abuses in defenseless children are presented, cases which were not denounced to the judicial authorities by their parents due to prejudices and familiarity or friendship links with the perpetrator. The objective is to awake in parents and relatives, above all from defenseless children (due to physical or mental discapacities or due to age), the acuity to detect on time a possible case and to avoid it, as well as to raise awareness to all in the protection of childhood inocence against unscrupulous perpetrators.
