Now ..

  Would you be able to give a breakdown of the figures for

  the support network resources available for

  both Female and Male

  victims of abuse ..?

and would you also be able to give a breakdown of the statistics

  which show who was the instigator of the abuse report ..
  whether it was a male .. or a female ... who took the
  victim to the service .. ?

What you have quoted were NOT FACTS
but data collected from incidents reported
to the available sources.

  which I will not deny may be an accurate
  collation of reports .. available at the time.

and again, the presentation of the statistics
depended totally on the perspective
of the person reporting and analysing the figures.

As anyone who has studied statistics and statistical models knows,
figures can be made to show whatever anyone wants them to show.

You obviously did not take note of all that I wrote in that post ..
instead, choosing to focus on what raised a reaction within you ..

I suggest you might read what I wrote more carefully ..
because I did bring my own past into the context of what I wrote.

What you are presenting here is a very good illustration
of the reason why the statistics are distorted ..

for there are so many involved in the reporting system
who are not able to hear beyond what raises
their own unresolved personal issues ..

  which immediately flaws the gathered statistics ..

Now .. can we broaden the discussion
  to consider the cause of all abuse of children
  by adults of both genders ..?
