Sexual Abuse of Children with Disabilities

The Vera Institute of Justice has just released “Sexual Abuse of Children With Disabilities: A National Snapshot,” which found that children with disabilities are three times more likely than children without them to be victims of sexual abuse, and the likelihood is even higher for children with intellectual or mental health disabilities.  This is an important study and can be downloaded at   http://www.vera.org/pubs/sexual-abuse-of-children-with-disabilities-national-snapshot.
