| Summary |
There is no crime--not even murder--that worries and sickens parents more than child sexual abuse. Parents wonder how to protect their children when almost every day the news reports another incident of someone in authority arrested on suspicion of child abuse--from clergy and teachers to family members themselves. Even law enforcement has had trouble defining the problem. Amid the confusion and uncertainty, what can parents do? In this clearly written guidebook, veteran sex-crimes prosecutor Robin Sax answers one hundred questions that she has most often encountered in her fifteen years of experience. From the definition of abuse to the profiles of a predator to how to report an incident and to whom, Sax provides practical, reassuring, and appropriate information.--From publisher description. |
