I was interested in this news item because I wrote a paper last year about including rape/sexual assault education under comprehensive sex-ed laws.
My research indicates that teens face a double risk: the risk children face of sexual abuse within the home and the risk of so-called "acquaintance" or date rape. How are we preparing teens to deal with the fact that a sexual abuser or rapist is most likely to be a person they know? And what can we do to empower them despite their status as minors?
