That’s what the Stillman twins stated during a recent interview with The Denver Post. They described a childhood filled with child sexual abuse and terror in the hands of the same people who were supposed to care for them. You can read the whole story here.
Sexual abuse continues to be the most commonly under-reported crime against children. Sadly enough, the Stillman twins are not alone. It is estimated that by each case of child sexual abuse that IS reported, 3 cases are NOT reported. Additionally, it is estimated that 1 out of 4 girls will be sexually abused before their 18th birthday and that 1 out of every 6 boys will be sexually abused before their 18th birthday.
