I feel that this article needs a section on non-contact CSA (i.e. child sexual abuse that doesn't involve physical contact). Although physical CSA is obviously one form of CSA, it also encompasses a range of acts that don't involve physical contact with a minor - ex. voyeurism, showing pornography to a child, verbal harassment, acting as an intermediary, consuming/procuring CSAM, etc. This is something that is covered by several child sexual abuse organizations such as the NSPCC and Stop It Now, the Interagency Working Group, etc. Anoldsegacount (talk) 05:54, 22 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
