Child abusers inhabit the earth. There are hundreds of millions of child victims. One in every four children are said to be victims of sexual abuse. It may be a secret crime but it is very common. In Ireland, a group of victim–survivors name their charity One-in-Four to emphasize the horrific statistics. Some of the victims are as young as three. The young victims are vulnerable, scared because they have been warned not to reveal their horrific experience.
