Forgotten Victims of Child Sexual Abuse
One of the challenges faced by carers and parents of those that have survived sexual abuse is that it’s not ‘their story to tell.’ Too often this makes the feelings of isolation and stigmatisation even harsher, as parents never hear from people ‘like them.’
This news report from Channel 4 sensitively reports on the struggles faced by parents and carers as well as addressing the lack of funding for organisations attempting to support third party victims of crime.
