'''Child molesting''' is the physical act of harming a minor child by sexual means.

'''Child molesting''' is the physical or psychological act of harming a minor child by sexual means. The chief characteristic of such abuse is the position of the adult over the child; the dominance of the adult allows that individual to coerce and/or force a child into sexual activity.  The resulting abuse may include contact with the genitals, masturbations, or penetration up to and including rape.  Non-physical contact may include voyuerism or photography for pornographic purposes [http://www.apa.org/releases/sexabuse/].  Studies by law enforcement and psychologists indicate that most individuals engaged in child sexual abuse continue to do so regardless of punishment; the effects on the children involved indicate a lifetime scarring.
