Ninety percent of sexual abuse victims never tell.
Susan Forward, Ph.D., 1989.
Innocence and Betrayal Overcoming the Legacy of Sexual Abuse.
Statistics only come from reporting, so we dont have accurate, objective numbers. But based on the reports we have, its believed that 1 in 3 girls is sexually abused, and a general consensus of 1 in 5 to 1 in 7 boys is sexually abused. ALERT: these are some explicit stories written by men who are speaking out about their own childhood sexual abuse.
Thanks.
I am of the opinion that "recovered memories" are nonsense. Look at all the debunking of the Satanic Ritual Abuse from the 80's and 90's.
FWIW, I have a BA in Psychology with a specialty in Research Psychology. I have yet to find a claim of "Recovered Memories" that proved to be true.
Thanks again.
