Yes it unfortunate that having sex and conceiving a child doesnt give you the wisdom you need to raise them.

But if you want to stunned by statistics, read this

The median age for reported (sexual)abuse is 9 years old.



Putnam, F. (2003). Ten-year research update review: Child sexual abuse. Journal of the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, 42 , 269-278.



Most perpetrators don’t molest only one child if they are not reported and stopped.
Nearly 70% of child sex offenders have between 1 and 9 victims; at least 20% have 10 to 40 victims. (23)
An average serial child molester may have as many as 400 victims in his lifetime.
