The facts on grooming of minors. #NotADragQueen
1 in 9 girls and 1 in 20 boys under age 18 experience sexual abuse or assault.
82% of all victims under 18 are girls. Young women 16-19 are 4× more likely than gen pop to be victims of rape, attempted rape, or sexual assault.

In 88% of the sexual abuse claims that CPS substantiates or finds supporting evidence of, the perpetrator is male. In 9% of cases they are female, and 3% are unknown.
The vast majority are acquaintances or family.

So the most likely scenario of grooming of minors is an adult man grooming a young woman 12 to 17 years old... the exact opposite of what anti trans and anti gay crusaders want you to believe.
The fact that 34% of sexual abuse of minors are committed by family is precisely why mandatory school reporting is DANGEROUS. It ends up being taken out on the kid at home.
Furthermore, since OVER A THIRD of abuse cases are committed by family, education in school in healthy sexuality, relationships and consent is essential so that young people can tell the difference between love and abuse.
We have known this for DECADES. So I seriously question the true motives of the people loudly trying to turn back the clock. Open dialogue in schools keeps kids safer.
