While this is not the blog’s norm I’m sharing this video because hearing a personal story can help you hear the message as a parent more clearly than reading a distant statistic.

This Oprah Show episode is quite graphic as victims of sexual abuse give their personal accounts of being abused sexually as children.

Keep in mind that USA Statistics show:

1 out of 5 Boys will be Sexually Abused
by their 18th Birthday

1 out of 3 Girls will be Sexually Abused
by their 18th Birthday
