"People who are sexually abused as children are often scared to report, sometimes have their accounts disbelieved (especially if the abuser is a trusted figure or relative), are sometimes accused of seducing the older person, etc."

Thats what happened to me when i was a kid. I was abused by an older girl who lived nearby, she was in her teens and i was 6/7. When I did tell someone it wasn't taken seriously and nothing ever happened, luckily we moved to a different city and it stopped.

i think because the abuser was female everyone back then just figured I was making it up, seemed like I was at fault and it really screwed me up in the head though.
