That is profound. And frightening.
I fear what today's generation is learning.

I never knew anyone my age who was abused. However, several of my daughter's friends from supposedly "good families" have recently revealed that they were abused.
When these issues are discussed, my daughters call me to say thank you for protecting them.

I didn't know how to protect them so I just mothered them. I tried to know where they were at all times and didn't allow them to do anything that looked like it had potential to be 'weird.' I'm so glad they were spared and I pray for those who were not.
