"...21% of the children [of India] experience 'severe sexual abuse' before the age of 18."

Actually, it is worse than that. According to Renuka Chowdhury, Women and Child Development Minister six years go, more than half the children in India are subjected to sexual abuse, but most do not report it. Parents and relatives were mostly found to be the perpetrators of child abuse, too. And only in the last ten years has the government started to bar (against parents' wishes) the employment of children under age 14 as domestic servants or in hotels, restaurants or small tea shops because they are often subjected to sexual abuse, violence and mental trauma. Given this reality, one would think bishops would be all the more proactive in keeping the church safe from such savage and pitiless exploitation of children.
