is crying easily in a 6 year old a sign of sexual abuse?

Sexual Abuse Behavioral Indicator #1: Regression

Regression often occurs with children who have been sexually abused. My son went from being potty-trained to wetting his pants during the day. He suddenly needed a security item and began carrying around a blanket.

Thankfully my son didn't experience total regression from his sexual abuse. Other signs of regression include a decrease in verbal skills, thumb-sucking, and a decrease in independence.

Sexual Abuse Behavioral Indicator #2: Fear, Both Specific and General

If your child suddenly becomes fearful, take note of what scares him. It could be general fear - things like not wanting to leave Mom's side or being afraid of the dark. These are the fears my son faced suddenly after being sexually abused. He did not want to be alone.

Specific fears may seem irrational, but they could provide clues as well. Fear of women with long, brown hair, for instance, may seem strange, but maybe a woman with long, brown hair is hurting your child. A fear of being left at daycare could be explained if your toddler is being sexually abused at her daycare.

If your child never had problems being scared before, a sexual abuse situation could trigger these fears now.

Signs of sexual abuse are generally recognized by bed wetting,defacing personal items such as dolls teddy bears etc. & withdrawal. Of course there are other signs & each child will be different. I would just like to suggest that if you or anyone else suspects sexual abuse in a child to either contact your local child abuse help line or take the child to the pediatrician. This is a very serious thought to have & whatever is making you question it should be taken seriously for the sake of that child.

crying because it's time to go in from play is not a sign of sexual abuse. probably just a kid that wants to keep having fun! signs of sexual abuse are much much more out of the ordinary than that. google them if you're not sure

That sounds more like they want to keep playing.

Is there any background of possible sexual abuse in the family?

Does the child look fearful to go around someone, or do they get extremly quite?

it's possible, but extremely unlikely. It's perfectly normal, depending on the situation. What you should do is ask why they are crying, and why they are sad. It could simply be because they wanted to carry on doing what they were doing, or that they need a hug perhaps.

All kids cry when it's time to go in from playing.

no, unless they've been doing so for a few years than it shouldn't be a big issue
