I know a senior social worker in the UK specialising in this area and what people don't realise is that abuse of this form is statistically no more than it was say 50 years ago when most mothers stayed at home, it is just that we hear about it more through the media.
Also, it is rare that abuse is from someone the child is not all that familiar with, most times it happens from family members. Sad but true and how do we protect vulnerable children in society against this?
