Deep dives

The Prevalence of Child Sexual Abuse

Child sexual abuse is a significantly alarming issue, with many parents being unaware of its prevalence. Statistics reveal that much of the abuse occurs at the hands of trusted adults rather than strangers, which complicates the ability of children to disclose these events. Awareness is further muddied by the increasing access to children by online predators, requiring parents to be vigilant and proactive. Education is essential as parents must arm their children with the tools to understand boundaries and assert them effectively.
