Children who report abuse are often ignored, says NSPCC

Children who report abuse are often ignored, says NSPCC - Health News - Health & Families - The Independent:

When children tell adults they are being abused, their confidants only take action in just over half of cases, according to a study by the NSPCC. Eight out of 10 abused under-18s tried to tell an adult, according to research based on interviews with 60 young adults. But adults acted in only 58 per cent of cases.
