Any damage is done by the parents alone, who will implant into the child's
brain the notion that it has seen something terrible. This will severely
hurt the child's relationship to his/her own body, to sex etc.
Of course, for some parents it is the actual goal to raise their children with
a traumatic relationship to sexuality and to their own body, so if that goal is
undermined, it may just as well be seen as "damage" in their eyes. In the
prudish US, this is rather common. I'm more surprised about the UK.
