I know 2 little girls that were molested. One of them systematically for about 3 years before anyone found out. On my street by the same man when I was 7 years old.

It was plenty talked about. I come from a conservative community though. Maybe that is the problem in your area.

Darlin',
I was raised in the heart dixie with a bible on my bedside and a gun in my pickup...
We were in church if the wind blew the doors open and we prayed loud and long, just to make sure God heard us...
You can't get more conservative that that ;)

'Nice' people didn't talk about such things...
It wasn't....
Proper.

As for a quick rundown...
Me-- uncle and father, starting at 5
3rd grade-- red headed best buddy and her little sister, by their father
5th grade-- 14 year old sister of another best buddy, pregnant by step-father
6th grade-- Principle fired for reaching under the skirt and fondling the baby sister of another friend.
High school-- Repeatedly suicidal friend finally admitted she had been raped by her father's best friend and business partner....and she was scared to death to tell her parents because they were so religious and she knew they would blame her.

All of this was discussed by us on the playground and at recess....or years later when we were adults.
