child abuse bookThere is no way to put a definite percentage or number on the amount of children who witness abuse and live in abusive households. But there is no doubt that the consequences are long suffering and life long for these children. One fact that seems clear in many stories that you hear about is that children don't even realize they are not living in a 'normal' situation. An autobiography just came out by a person named Rhonnie called "So What's Normal: Life After Pedophilia, Abuse and Neglect." Her purpose in writing the book was to rip the lid off of the code of silence surrounding abuse.
