Sexual Abuse- “What Would You Do?”- Josh Rousey
Did you know that 1 in 6 women become victims of sexual abuse? Did you know that 1 in 33 men are sexually abused? Do you think your child is safe when dropped off at daycare? Do you feel safe because the sexual abuser down the road was arrested and claims to be a changed person?
I ask these questions because the statistics show that most people would say no to the first two questions but would say yes to the remaining two questions. My question of what would you do comes from the amazing statistic that 60-65% of victims feel they cannot tell the police but open up to their friends or someone close to them but yet the police still never find out.
I understand why people feel they cannot tell the police about being sexually abused because they are embarrassed and scared. Or is that the reason? Here is the real question. Did you know that 15 of 16 sexual abusers walk free with only probation? That is only 6%.
I know that this makes me feel less safe now. I am not trying to tell you to be scared of everyone around you. Just understand it is important to be cautious at all times. Their are websites to know where the sexual offenders are and it is very important to understand where the locations of these offenders are.

People today are generally not as aware of their surroundings as they should be. It’s true that the chances of something happening to you each day arre slim but so many things such as saxual abuse could be prevented if people just payed more attention to where they were and what their role played in their situation. You always have the ability to change the way things turn out, you just have to be aware of that fact.
