Yep... I meant that of cases of molestation, most were done by people well-known to the children. It is a very high percentage.
I'm not sure things have really changed that much. I think there's just the perception that things have changed because there is more focus on things that used to be kept quiet. There's a lot more cases reported these days, which is good. (Unless there really are more cases, which would be bad.)
I agree it's up to the individual parents... but their decisions should definitely include some input from their children.
