43. Well, that is probably because it's so very common.

Edited on Sat Jan-21-06 03:04 AM by amitten

I haven't met a single girl (myself included), when the subject comes up, that hasn't been touched inappropriately at some point in her childhood by an older male. I think the actual statistic is something like 1 in 3 girls is at some point molested, and 1 in 7 boys. I think the problem is by far underestimated by the general public.

So, I'm not usually the one to play devil's advocate on this subject. I don't want anyone accused unfairly. But sometimes you can put two and two together, and it really is four, y'know?
