It was much more common than anyone wanted to believe and is why you now are starting to hear about people being molested or abused as children. Too much of what we hear of about child abuse from today's parents and and horrifed at was accepted practice not too many years ago.

I don't remember ever hearing about ANY child molesters or even robberies. Sure some things probably happened but I never remembered hearing of it.
