Sad. So very sad.
And people assume the child would/should tell.
People can't possibily comprehend that when the fear of god is beaten into a child not to open their mouth, that YES- they are going to remain silent.People do not understand the dynamics of abuse and therefore they say stupid things like "why didn't you tell someone" or "why didn't she just leave." People can not understand the fear and confusion a child feels, no matter what age. Children should never be in that position and it is un-natural for it to exist.
