Question

I was nine when I was first abused. Can a nine-year-old assault another nine-year-old?

Answer

Thank you so much for asking this question. Yes, a nine-year-old can certainly abuse or assault another nine-year-old. For an example of this, take a look at this question we recently responded to another survivor who experienced abuse by a peer at age nine.
