I'm glad you brought this to the forefront, Dorian. Abuse isn't just physical, though that is more common than we'd like to see. The other abuses you mention are real, also. When we read the high profile cases, we are shaken, but we need to look in our own neighborhoods, as well. We can't jump to conclusions, but we need to be aware enough to form an opinion as to whether some official needs to investigate. Anyone who is vulnerable, adult or child, needs the protection of society.
