Of the some 1.5 million children who will run away from home this year, tens of thousands will spend time working for sexual predators and selling their bodies on the streets. According to one federal estimate, the average age of a child first used as a prostitute is between 11 and 14, but victims as young as 9 are not uncommon. Many of the sexually exploited runaways have been neglected or abandoned by families that will never report them as missing.

{joso}The first step in learning how to truly protect your children from abuse is to educate yourself with the facts. There has been an explosion in research into the terrible problem of sexual abuse in the last 10 years. Many old myths have been debunked with newer research techniques using larger samples and for longer periods of time.
There are now hundreds of studies done by our own State and Federal governments and by world renowned researchers in the field. The best news from the current research is that treatment can work for former sex offenders.
The next important step is developing a process by which a person can get into treatment before they molest a child and not fear the mandatory reporting to the police by the treatment professional.
It is imperative that the public begin to be allowed to hear the VOICES OF THE EXPERTS.
