Check the stats on how many kids don't report physical or sexual abuse because they don't think anyone would believe them. It's a kid's word vs. a grown-up's. And who the hell would believe that kind old man keyed you in the back of the head? Kids are quickly conditioned to only tell the truth if it's credible. And for that reason they put up with a LOT of shit.
