I don't know but I think nowadays people are more aware, don't brush it under the carpet and genuinely have realised that children don't make up stories and they do need to be listened to...

I agree, with so many horrible things have went through in the past I think from generation to generation maybe it has gotten a little better and brought us to this awareness now. Women, and children, were a source of a abuse from the biblical days. So there's been a lot of horrible things happen even before us. We still have a long way to go, but I hope with the awareness we have now the cycle will stop.
