One in 3 boys likely to be sexually abused before 18: Study sabcnews

One in three boys is likely to bebefore the age of eighteen. This according to a University of Cape Town study into sexual victimisation in South Africa. The study prompted renewed calls for the focus to include the boy child.

“I was powerless, I couldn’t do anything. It’s strange because you still trust that person. I thought it was my fault, I thought sometimes I allowed it to happen. I should’ve have spoken out, I should’ve ran out of the situation.” “I trusted him…To a point there was accusation against him for child abuse, for sexual abuse against other boys. My parents, my family didn’t believe it. They were supporting him through this time, which made it worse. I couldn’t tell them so I kept my silence for another three years I before I couldn’t take it any longer and told my mother and father.”

Time2Coach Parents need to know and be aware of signs showing or indicating that their child is abused either at school or home e.g change of behavior in a child being scared of people,drop in school work,having nightmares and wants to be alone. See Social worker if you pick out this.

Dear God protect our children

we have failed as a society the dream of our great president, is slowly fading away

The land is rife with SODOMITES!

Girls stats should go like 4 in 5 girls are likely to be sexually abused before the age of 10 study.....

Of course feminists will NEVER acknowledge any suffering or injustice against boys because 'inequality' only affects girls, right?

Lesego_jiXie Especially from the big cousins who people think are lesbians because no one ever sees them going on dates.

It'd be nice if you could also share the actual report/study with us.

The MenAreTrash brigade should read this. And understand where some of the hatred stems from.
