A couple of points-I think you should include a section on incest because this is recognized as a recurrent form of sexual abuse of children. Also, the demographics need to be expanded outside of the USA. When it comes to reporting of child abuse, the class and social standing of the child have a lot to do with the numbers that are reported, in other words, there are many papers that show that teachers, nurses, doctors, are reluctant to view wealthy children as having been abused, and this feeds into distorting the statitistics for race and class, be aware of this and avoid naive reporting.

Note: "Effects of child sexual abuse" IS from Wikipedia

I feel it is important to note that the effects of sexual abuse is from Wikipedia. Although I tried to rewrite it entirely, there are some sentences or phrases left unchanged. The citations also remained intact. However, because a lot of the research cited is either controversial or experimental, maybe it can be replaced with more generally-accepted claims? Up to you guys, I just thought the section should be there regardless, so I imported it in. Mike Mayors (Talk) 11:23, 8 June 2007 (CDT)

Is it original

Is any of this from wikipedia? Do we need to check the button? Matt Innis (Talk) 08:09, 8 June 2007 (CDT)

toned down

I toned down the language in the first paragraph to be more inline with the family friendly policies. I am totally aware of all the implications here for accuracy and facing the realities of this atrocity, but I think we can present it without undo explicitness.

This article is not from Wikipedia!

Everything with the exception of "Effects of child sexual abuse" is not from wikipedia - it's from research done on Google, or information found on other sites. I went out of my way to completely write from scratch. I apologize for the lack of citations in other areas of the article, I'll try to add them soon. I also apologize for the explicit nature of the introduction paragraph...thx for fixing that. If you have any other problems, PLEASE let me know as I am still new here and don't all the rules/policies...though I think I've read them all. :) Mike Mayors 10:11, 8 June 2007 (CDT)

PS ... how do you sign your name with the "(Talk)" link? The four squiggilies (tildes) only links to my user page...
