(Edward Morgan)Most sexual abuse goes unreported. That means the current and already horrifying statistics — 1 in 10 children will be sexually abused before they reach 18 years of age — may not even reflect the true scope of the problem. And sadly, it exists closer to home than we might like to think.Over 90% of sexually abused children were abused by someone they know, making it even more difficult for them to report, or even know they should report, this abuse.Many simply block out this type of trauma entirely — a coping mechanism that protects the mind from something too appalling to endure. Others may remember but suppress the truth, and it comes out in addictive and other destructive behaviours, impacting the rest of their adult life in many ways.
