Bernard, it's hip to say you're a lesbian (well, not YOU). :-) It is NOT hip to say you've been abused. The numbers are accurate. Having been in the social work profession myself, and having worked in a mental hospital, an inner city school, and having spend almost five years working with kids in Canada, I don't doubt the number is close. Having worked at a camp for abused kids, I know what kinds of things are going on out there. How many times have you sat down with troubled kids and asked "What's going on in your life?" It can be startling. If more people did that, there'd be a lot less abuse.
