Oh yeah, I’m ok. I only got sent home cos the school’s worried about my arm. The kid hit the other side, not the recently healed arm.

Modern classroom control just doesn’t seem to be working, but I don’t know the solution.

Shock collars

I think not having children grow up in violence would be a first step.

One woman dies every 4 days from Intimate Partner Violence in Australia.

1 in 3 women live with Intimate Partner Violence.

1 in 3 girls experience child rape mostly from family members or close family friends.
1 in 4 boys experience child rape mostly from family members or close family friends

I think the boys disclose child rape a lot less than girls and suicides result.

Some research says 1 in 4 girls and 1 in 6 boys.

How many people have experienced child sexual abuse?

The Australian Child Maltreatment Study (ACMS), the first nationally representative study of child maltreatment rates, found that 28.5% of Australians experienced child sexual abuse. Girls experience double the rate of child sexual abuse (37.3% c.f. 18.8% of boys; Mathews, Pacella, Scott, et al., 2023).

One in 3 girls and one in 6 boys are sexually abused before the age of 18.

96% of abusers have a relationship with the child, 72% being the natural parents. Only 4% fall into the other/stranger category

Child sexual abuse is a contemporary issue, not something that has only happened historically in institutions. It is still a problem in Australia with 28.5%¹ of the population having experienced child sexual abuse (18.5% of all Australians aged 16 and over have been abused by an adult such as a parent or adult family member, a teacher, or a stranger). This means that more than 1 in 3 females and almost 1 in 5 males have been, or are being, sexually abused. These children have been, and continue to be, subjected to sexually abusive exposure, touching, attempted rape and rape. We know that child sexual abuse is extremely harmful with an often-lifelong trajectory of trauma and impact.
