Flutterby™! :

Via RobotWisdom a link that I'm almost afraid to pass on. It's an article in the Washington times about a study on the long-term effects of child sexual abuse. Things always get touchy when talking about these issues, but as usual the loons like "Dr. Laura" have used it as knee-jerk fodder. The Rind-Tromovitch-Bauserman study is controversial because it suggests that the negative effects may have been overstated:

The study based such remarks on findings that indicated up to 37 percent of the boys who were abused and 11 percent of the girls reported "positive" childhood sexual experiences with an adult.

I await, hunkered in a corner, on the incoming barrage, for just bringing up the topic.
