N2  - The article focuses on the importance of a caregiver's supportiveness and his or her relation to a child's disclosure, recantation and adjustment after being sexually abused. It has been noted that maternal reactions to abuse, including whether the mother believed the child's allegations and, whether she acted in a protective manner or supportive manner, are important not only in the aftermath of child sexual abuse discovery, but also in terms of children's willingness to disclose. A mother should carefully assessed the situation after the child has reported such crime so that she could impose proper measures. On the other hand, nonsupportiveness may lead the child to fail to disclose the abuse when questioned by social services
