=== Children Predating on Each Other (01:31) ===

[00:00:00]  I read a statistic which I found just absolutely horrifying.
[00:00:03]  I'm sure you know it.
[00:00:04]  I'll get you to tell me.
[00:00:05]  But just that a lot more of the sexual abuse that's happening right now is children doing it to each other.
[00:00:13]  And I just don't even want to think about that.
[00:00:15]  But explain that to me.
[00:00:18]  Yeah, well, child on child sexual abuse, and sometimes it's called child on child problematic behavior, has skyrocketed.
[00:00:31]  So, when I first started talking about this issue, it was at 40%.
[00:00:35]  And I thought that was really bad.
[00:00:37]  Which is, wait, 40% of all child abuse?
[00:00:40]  40% of all reported child abuse cases were perpetrated by minors, by other children.
[00:00:47]  That's been the case in the past.
[00:00:49]  You're saying it's higher than that?
[00:00:51]  It's now 70%.
[00:00:53]  70%.
[00:00:54]  So, what's happened?
[00:00:56]  You don't think about that.
[00:00:57]  I mean, we think about child abuse, we think of it happening, and we know it's.
[00:01:04]  Often adults that are related to the families and so forth, but you never think about the children doing it to each other.
[00:01:09]  Right.
[00:01:09]  And it used to be some family member, you know, that is the predator.
[00:01:16]  And that's still the case when there is an adult predator.
[00:01:19]  It's usually someone known by the child.
[00:01:22]  However, it has become children on children.
[00:01:26]  That is the majority of the cases, and it's fueled by pornography.
