Just as a side note.. because I simply have to..
Really, no form as bad? What about a biological parent who does the same thing to their own child, taking advantage of their position of trust, exerted in an environment that is almost impossible to monitor, almost never questioned? It's heard about in the news far less, in part because it's reported far less, with subjugation and abuse being all the child knows sometimes, but also because it's so much more distasteful for people to consider, and especially parents. But it happens. Just not as titillating for the news bytes.
