  style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt; COLOR: black">I am currently conducting a small 
  qualitative study of nonoffending parents of sexually abused children. A few 
  have lost their children and have not had them returned; others have had their 
  children returned. One of the compelling themes for these parents is the 
  experience of tragic loss and profound distress combined with posttraumatic 
  symptoms of parents when their children were not with them. Another recurrent 
  theme is a deep fear from the returned children that their parents will 
  disappear again. Parents recounted heightened anxiety in their children 
  regarding instances when they were not immediately available or in parents 
  when children were out of their sight. Even 1 or 2 years later parents and 
  children continued to struggle with the effects of the loss, including 
  experiencing posttraumatic symptoms related to the loss.

  <P class=MsoNormal><FONT face="Times New Roman" color=black size=3><SPAN 
  style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt; COLOR: black">My own opinion was that the parents 
  whose children were not with them needed ongoing supportive therapy to help 
  them to contend with their profound loss so that they could attend to what was 
  necessary to get their kids back. It also appeared that appropriate 
  postreunification family or individual treatment could have helped them to 
  contend with and hopefully overcome the posttraumatic and anxiety symptoms 
  that appeared to be so closely associated with their having lost each other 
  for a time. <o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></P>
