Peut-on imaginer la terreur que ces agressions peuvent susciter lorsque la situation se poursuit pendant des années, quand l'enfant est terrifié et tenu au silence par des menaces proférées à son endroit ou à l'encontre de ses parents et de sa famille?
It is a sad commentary on today's society that more and more frequently we read in our newspapers about cases of sexual abuse or assault where innocent children have been the victims, in some cases ending with the death of a child. Imagine the terror in those instances where the abuse continues for years, where the child is terrified into silence by threats against themselves or their parents and family.
