A child helpline in Britain has revealed statistics that simultaneously shock the civilized world as well as sent signals that all is not well with society. Over 2000 children in the age group of 12 to 15 have admitted to being sexually exploited by women!! Last year, the figure was around 1300 – with the mother being the offender, in case of boys. When it is the girl child, the offender is usually the biological father rather than a step father. Pedophiles had, till recently, been depicted as men who prowl the internet and frequent chat room disguised as the next door boy. But, ever since the nursery scandal came out in the open, it is seen that women are equally to blame. These are disturbing trends and shows that kids are vulnerable both at home and in the outside world.
