Is child molestation more common now or just reported more often?

I think maybe it is reported more often now. I could tell a lot of stories like yours and I never told my parents anything either. I remember that a man tried to snatch my older brother one time...my family does still talk about that. But it certainly wasn't on the news or any kind of "alerts" sent out.

This world is so fucked up sometimes. Some of the stuff I read makes my heart hurt. But I am glad they report it now I guess. Because maybe, just maybe, the fear of public humiliation/retaliation will keep one scumbag from hurting a child.
