Answer 2

The question really is how many reported and not reported children will get abused? Will the proper authorities take action based on factual evidence or just he said she said? and will the man always be labeled the abuser or will society finally realize women are capable of abuse themselves. Look into the department of justice figures on reported abuse statistics. There is no difference in the characteristic's of an abuser between a women or a man.

There are many factors to consider when assessing abuse claims. One being that i know of is the public perception verses reality of a certain situation. Some people claim falsely while others actually happen and don't get acted on. The real ones who suffer are the children themselves because of flaws in the justice system. My own daughter being a victim at 3 years old, yet not fully or properly investigated given evidence presented. Dcfs workers are over worked, underpaid, and must meet certain quotas to continue to receive federal funding. This means more men are accused of abuse............ do da research. :)
