Incest by grandmother with dementia: a case report

Abstract

Incest sexual abuse is defined as any sexual behavior applied to a child by close relatives. Incest is often between biological or stepfather and child or between siblings, less frequently between other family members. Victims are often girls. But sometimes boys can be victims of incest as well. Dementia is a disease that causes loss of intellectual function. It is usually permanent and progressive, and it increases the risk of elderly abuse and neglect. This case report presents incest sexual abuse of a boy by his grandmother.
