The truth of the matter is that many children who are raped inside their homes are often raped daily. To the best of my knowledge there is no research into this topic. No one knows the statistics on what the average number of times an incest survivor who is sexually assaulted within the home.
There are various types of incestuous sexual predators. Some relatives only offend their daughters, others are only interested in their sons. There are also other offenders who are only attracted to children within a particular age group, while others offenders, age and or sex doesn’t matter.
There is also a subgroup of incest survivors who stated that their abuse continued on into their adulthood. Even though this group of survivors were biologically adults, emotionally/psychologically they were still children.
I was just playing around with numbers and this is what I came up with. Considering these facts, why is it very few advocacy and news media groups addressing the issue of incest.
Raped 1 time per day (365 days in a year) x 18 years = 6570
Raped 1 time per day (365 days in a year) x 9 years = 3285
Raped 1 time per day (365 days in a year x 6 years = 2190
Raped 1 time per day (365 days in a year x 3 year = 1095
Raped 1 time per day (365 days in a year x 1 year = 365
