Your statistics are lacking depth.

“Family structure is the most important risk factor in child sexual abuse. Children who live with two married biological parents are at low risk for abuse.”

That’s the one that matters.

I agree with your point.

From the same article you posted here are the points that back up my point that children are more likely to be abused at home not school.

•Most sexual abuse of children occurs in a residence, typically that of the victim or perpetrator. 84% of sexual victimization of children under age 12 occurs in a residence. Even older children are most likely to be assaulted in a residence. 71% of sexual assaults on children age 12-17 occur in a residence (Snyder, 2000).
•Sexual assaults on children are most likely to occur at 8 a.m., noon and 3-4 p.m. For older children, ages 12-17, there is also a peak in assaults in the late evening hours (Snyder, 2000).
•1 in 7 incidents of sexual assault perpetrated by juveniles occur on school days in the after-school hours between 3 and 7 p.m., with a peak from 3 – 4 pm (Snyder, 2000).
