This is sad.
No, what's sad are the statistics regarding how many females and males under the age of 18 will be sexually harassed, molested, and/or sexually abused in some way. "Approximately 1 in 3 girls and 1 in 6 boys are sexually abused before the age of 18; 93% of juvenile sexual assault victims know their attacker, 34.2% of attackers were family members and 58.7% were acquaintances and only 7% of the perpetrators were strangers to the victim."
I applaud parents who keep such a close eye on their children bc statistically THEY are one of the main key components as to the prevalence of these unfortunate and sad statistics.
"Studies have not found differences in the prevalence of child sexual abuse among different social classes or races. However, parental inadequacy, unavailability, conflict and a poor parent-child relationship are among the characteristics that distinguish children at risk of being sexually abused"
