Yes Virginia, there is a solution to help stamp out

abuse and I am surprised no one has thought of it sooner. Maybe because it is too obvious.

This can help not only victims of physical abuse but those who have been sexually abused as well.

The solution is to get enough known survivors of childhood physical and sexual abuse for two groups. Ensure there is a good mix of both types in each group. (Example. If the total amount of participants is 20---then two groups of 10).

One group is the control group, that group gets anything and everything medically available to assist with the healing process.

The other group is the test group. This group receives no medical help at all.

Track both groups until each study member has reached the predetermined age of adulthood. (lets say you track the groups from the age of 14 until the participants have all reached the age of 25).

If this works, it should show the likelihood of abuse victims becoming abusers and start the process of healing victims at a young age. Thereby you ensure that a suitable treatment plan for each victim of abuse is in place to help the healing process.

And if you notice, I still haven't involved the Child Protective Service Agencies (whatever they are called in each region). I'll explain why later.
