It has been around forever, and if we have learned anything, it is that ignoring it will not help the situation. Victims need to be believed and supported when they disclose reports of abuse. Children must be our first priority. Children who have been abused must feel that they can confide in someone and that they will be believed. If they do not, the majority of victims will continue to remain silent.
Children represent our future, and they have a right to expect to grow up happy and safe.
Society has a duty to protect children, and it is time that we all began living up to our responsibilities.
