Child sexual abuse occurs. We've always known that. But we like to think that it happens only rarely, and only in "other" families and "other" countries. So it's shocking to learn that 4,392 Catholic priests have been accused of abusing 10,667 minors. That over 100,000 websites feature child pornography. That there are 10 million child prostitutes throughout the world.
