In Australia a person goes missing every 18 minutes. This site will help children and teenagers to better protect themselves, or help them to make that first contact if they are being abused. There were 124 abduction attempts on Queensland children in 2004. Victims of kidnapping/abduction recorded an increase of 10% compared to 2003.. and so it goes on

Violent child victimisers were often victims of childhood abuse themselves. Surprisingly nearly 25% of paedophiles are women, often mothers. We need to help break this cycle NOW.
You can help stop this by reporting anything suspicious to Crime Stoppers by phoning 1800 333 000

Paedophiles need help too, we are compiling a page of professional doctors and counsellors who can help these individuals combat their urges to molest children.

Child sexual abuse could trigger the development of future violent behaviour resulting in criminal convictions, psychosomatic responses, psychiatric disorders, long lasting emotional problems, youth suicide, regression, sleeping and eating disorders, lack of self esteem, nightmares, mutilation, self hatred, promiscuous behaviour, aggression.
A wide variety of later effects had been pointed out including, sexual difficulties, inability to form lasting relationships, a serious lack of self-confidence, marital problems and poor parenting skills. (Waters and Kelk, 1991) (Oates and Tong 1987): Australian Institute of criminology Paper on Paedophilia - Effect on Victims)

The Good News... Child sexual assault need not be a life sentence. With the right response, assistance and support, children can recover well and will lead a very "normal" productive and happy life. (Bravehearts Ditto's keep safe adventure parents guide)
