text: The problem is the culture of denial.  The issue might be resolved and there is no sexual abuse occurring there currently but the culture of denial appears to alive and well.  
  The reality is that children and adults do face abuse, neglect, and horrible situations.  But what is often most damaging for the individual is not just the abuse but the support they did or did not get.  Did people believe them?  Did people help them? Did the cry for help result in more abuse like it did in the story?  This is the culture of denial rather then doing the right thing for the victim of the abuse.
