There's a Child
Molester
Living in Your Neighborhood!
And they're not listed with your local police department
or the FBI. They've never been caught. Yet, they may be
living next door, or even in your own house.
They represent the largest group of reported cases of
child sexual molestation, making up over 71% of the
cases.
However, because less than 35% of all child molestation
cases are ever reported to law enforcement, they continue
their activities in the privacy of their own homes, with
their own children.
Who are these people? They're
mothers, fathers and close relatives. Over 71% of the
perpetrators are familiar to the family: Parents are
involved in over 50% of sexual abuse. And, the difference
between mothers and fathers is less than 8%. Mothers are
perpetrators in over 27% of cases, fathers in over 35% of
cases. The breakdown ranked by incidence: Male parent
only - 20.8%; Both parents - 12.3%; Female parent and other
- 11%; Female parent only - 3.9%; Male parent and other 2%.
Family relative 18.2%, substitute care providers - 2.8%.
While you're looking for strangers, don't forget to look
closer to home. They might be someone you thought you really
knew.
