Where is he touching you specifically? Are you alone with him when it happens? Have you told him you don't like it? Are you fully clothed when it happens?

It depends on where he touches you. If your private parts, yes. If so, you should tell someone, like a trusted family member or teacher or coworker.

If it is touching as in sexual contact then yes it is sexual abuse and should be treated and reported as such. You should contact someone you trust for help.

Yes, this is sexual abuse. I suggest talking to someone or by reporting it: https://www.gov.uk/report-rape-sexual-assault sexual abuse is not okay and it is important to report it.

It depends on how old you are, where he is touching you, and in what way. Regardless, if you ever feel unsafe, you should talk to someone you trust or the authorities if you feel the danger is more serious.

Depending on where he touches you, yes it can be. I suggest you reach out for support from an adult you can trust to talk to about it. If not, there are always people here willing to listen:)

This depends on the way he touches you. There is always a good touch and a bad touch. If he touches you inappropriately in private areas especially it is sexual abuse

It depends how he does it. Does he so it in a way that makes you uncomfortable or sexual? Have you tried telling him that it makes you uncomfortable and you want him to stop? There are a lot of resources for this kind of thing. If you feel it's inappropriate and that you are unsafe, I strongly recommend reaching out to your local law enforcement agency.

Entirely depends on how and where. Regardless of age there is no reason an adult needs to lay hands on certain parts of the body with exception to hygiene or health when necessary. If it’s not serving one of those two purposes there may be a problem. Can you say “Dad, could you not do that?†If he gets upset say “it kinda weirds me out†or something along those lines you have made your need known and if he still doesn’t respect it then you maybe should consider speaking to a school counselor, teacher, trusted adult of some sort.
Note: touching isn’t necessarily sexual. I come from a family that’s very hands on, touchy feely. We hug a lot, rub shoulders, give back scratches etc. but we are used to it and enjoy it. We are also very outspoken so if we don’t like it we make it well known. So before jumping to a conclusion about whether or not this is sexual abuse I want that to be considered. If you question the propriety or know absolutely it isn’t okay then talking to someone is very important.
