Introduction
Sexual abuse is not a 21st century social problem in humanity. This problem is has old has we can imagine. However, the difference is the fact that it is been addressed in a different new way today.

This is evidenced by the expanding body of literature on sexual abuse, public declarations by adult survivors and increased media coverage of sexual abuse issues. According to the National Child Abuse and Neglect Data System (NCANDS), an estimated 9.3 percent of confirmed or substantiated child abuse and neglect cases in 2005 involved sexual abuse (Kamerman, Phipps & Ben-Aryeh, 2009). This figure translates into over 83,800 victims in 2005 alone. Other studies suggest that even more children suffer abuse and neglect than is ever reported to child protective services agencies. Statistics indicate that girls are more frequently the victims of sexual abuse, but the number of boys is also significant.
As a result of this embarrassing trend, this paper seeks to understand in depth the issue of Pedophilia/Child Molestation. The paper will further support the arguments raised by different bodies or agencies with the appropriate studies done by author...
