I was fortunate enough to be involved in an organization that went into middle & high schools and educate young people on staying safe from sexual predaters. We also worked with DD students. I was amazed by some of the things the DD youth went through.

I learned so much from them. They were my favorite population to work with. They were the most compassionate, real, honest, resiliant and couragious students I've ever worked with.

I think the rate of reporting is going up, as opposed to the actual number of crimes - people are more likely to report them now, because various organizations (such as those shown) exist to give them a voice.
