Economic Costs Attributed to Child Sexual Abuse in Canada 1998

WTF?

Someone please tell my why we have a Department of Justice, Health, and Education?

What do these people actually do to prevent child sexual abuse?

"Okay, we know your child has been sexually abused, but we can't prove it. So, here, take some medication, it's free, the government will pay for it, as well as for your counselling...and then when your child is free of that environment, we'll hand them some drugs and free counselling so that they can cope with the devastating after-effects. But don't expect us to do anything to prevent the abuse, because then the entire industry of creating crime, criminal minds and perpetuating the cycle would crumble and the old farts wouldn't have money."

Beautiful, fantastic. This is how the world turns....problem, reaction, solution.

The giants create the problem by preying on our children...

We react...they punish us and use our children to keep us under control...

The same people who created the problem provide a solution, and so we continue to enrich the pharmaceutical giants...

"Abstract:
This paper describes a study of the economic costs attributed to child sexual abuse in Canada for the 1997-1998 fiscal year. The preliminary cost estimate of child sexual abuse in Canada exceeds $3.6 billion annually. This includes both public and private costs across four policy areas: health, social/public services, justice, and education/research and employment. These estimates have important policy implications in the area of child sexual abuse. The effectiveness of remedies, and options for new initiatives, policies and programs can be further evaluated using these economic calculations.
