[quote=Anonymous]I wasn't going to pipe in on this, but it's been bothering me all week.

Most people don't understand the statistics. 75-90% of children who are sexually abused are victimized by SOMEONE THAT THEY KNOW.

So all the people who won't let their kids walk home from school, are only protecting them from 10% of the danger.

If this young man is screaming bloody murder, please believe him.

I was abused by my stepfather until I was 10. My mom then got a new man. I was taped by my stepbrother. I screamed bloody murder at first , but no one believed me so I shut up. I was already a good victim because of my stepfather, so I did as I was told. I was finally almost 40 before I put into words what happened to me. My counsellor held me while I bawled like an infant. I spent three days in bed.

There is NO reason to not take this boy seriously, even if he won't put into words what he is upset about. A 10 year old won't "tell" if he thinks a trusted or loved adult will get in trouble. He needs to just be heard, even if he won't point a finger/ explain. He is a scared child. Believe him. [/quote]
