Stories of paedophiles fill newspapers but who thinks of child abuse victims?
Sexually-abused children commonly develop mental illness. This attracts little sympathy or concern. Indeed, they can be abhorred and feared as much as paedophiles.
Can anyone tell me why this is? Or is it because we live in a mad world?
