I will give you my iron clad guarantee that for every child that is abused there is a family member or friend who knows exactly what is going on and does nothing about it.

That is why I love my wife so much. She saw that her cousin was going down a bad path. She was taking drugs, going out all night, sleeping all day, the house was filthy, the children weren't going school. So, she confronted her about it multiple times. It nearly cost them their friendship, but in the end it was exactly the wake up call that she needed.
