2 out of 10 girls...1 out of 10 boys are victims of a sexual abuser

protect your children and all of the children

95% are driven by an ongoing sex drive directed toward children

We know that preventing will be difficult because it demands that all of us talk about child sexual abuse to friends and relatives who may know none of the facts but may already have their minds set in concrete. Convinced they know all they need to know, they may have decided they don't want to hear anything about child molestation.

Sexually abusing a child endangers that child's physical and emotional health. And, unfortunately, the number of victimized children is in the millions.

Pay attention and listen to the children in your life.

I dont know anyone (in person) that was sexualy abused and I havent been either (Its a big thanx to my parents for being over-protective, no-matter how much i hate it sometimes but it kept me safe for 15 years now ) but this has realy opened my eyes! Its makes me angry and scared at the same time... these kind of people should suffer realy badly...

I was molested at the age of 9 (it didn't go that far before my parents found out who he was, but still, extremely unpleasant) and I'm straight. And I have friends who are gay that haven't been molested. So sexual abuse making you gay is just bull. Like you said. You're right, again:) You go girl!!:)

Thanks for posting this. I'm a social worker. I worked with kids for a long time and chose to work with the elderly primarily because...well it was just too much. It seemed like every other child I worked with had been abused in some way. I started having dreams where I was kicking rapists asses and sometimes killing them. I do believe the more we talk about this issue...to kids, our friends, colleagues, family members the less taboo the subject will be. Again, thank you for your courage.

I told my own father after 15 years of silence

I know but it realy makes me sad that all people cant be as lucky as me because from the stories I hear... its quite a traumatizing experience and it upsets to know that people have to go through something so horrible.

That's EXACTLY how I felt.....I did it though, and it felt good to let it out and have her to talk to.

I'm afraid to tell my mom? Scared it will hurt her that I didn't tell her 17 years ago!
