I could be wrong and I apologize if so but it sounds like you are confusing children being aware or witnessing the existence of sex with them being forced or coerced into taking part. Normally when people talk about or so research about child sexual abuse they are talking about the latter and not the former, so just looking up child sexual abuse research wouldn't be sufficiently specific.
No, I'm not. I quoted the exact part where they said "getting involved," which was separate from the section about observing. Read it again. They mean children doing sex acts is "probably" harmful. It isn't PROBABLY harmful, IT IS HARMFUL.
