I grabbed this from Advocates for Youth website:

Until the early 1970's child sexual abuse was thought to be rare, and centered among the poor. Experts now agree that child sexual abuse has always occurred and still exists in all socio-economic groups. Increased public awareness has led to greater reporting; from 1970 to 1990, child sexual abuse reports increased more than other categories of neglect or abuse.1 Despite this gain, child sexual abuse still remains vastly under-reported.

Children and adolescents who have been sexually victimized are at increased risk for HIV infection, unplanned pregnancy and other negative outcomes. Unfortunately, the personal skills needed to prevent sexually-transmitted diseases and unintended pregnancy are exactly those eradicated by sexual abuse. People who work with youth must be aware of the possible connection; sexual abuse prevention must be a component of any program promoting adolescent reproductive and sexual health.

In other words, when we were kids, our parents were able to spank us, belt our butts, hit our heads with a wooden spoon, slapped, cursed at, yelled at, locked in our rooms after school unless we had to pee (if that), etc. Today if we do so much as look @ our children the wrong way, they can report that to their teacher and the next thing you know, social services and the police are at your door ready to cuff you. Fucking insane, huh?
