Stephen Quick and Samantha Light Arrested: What are the signs your child has been molested?
Since Stephen Quick and Samantha Light were arrested for possible child molestation, it's common for many parents to wonder if their children were molested as well. Signs of child sexual abuse can vary, but as a parent of a child who was sexually abused, the first sign I noticed in my child was an increase in sexual behavior.
Other signs include regression, an increase in specific and general fear, repetitious behavior and aggression. Read here for more signs of child sexual abuse.
Accused Child Molesters Quick and Light Arrested: What should you do if you suspect your child has been sexually molested?
The mother of the young girl who came forward, alerting police to the accused sexual behavior of Stephen Quick and Samantha Light, did the right thing. The mother, who wished to remain anonymous, told TheIndyChannel.com that she questioned her young daughter, asking if they were merely assisting her in the bathroom. When the child reported that Quick and Light were taking pictures of her while in the bathroom, the mother alerted police.
The best thing parents can do if they suspect their child has been sexually abused is to be an advocate for their child. Trust your gut and tell the police.

Good article - it is sad that people like this are in society and are able to run day cares and places that gives them close contact with victims.
