We deal with the person who committed the offence, either shortly thereafter or as close thereafter as is reasonable under the investigation. But who we deal with immediately thereafter generally is the victim. Because we are in smaller communities in this country, we tend to know what effect that has on not only the victim but the victim's family. Mothers and fathers divorce because they cannot withstand the pressures that have occurred because their child has been killed or sexually abused. I'm going to ask you to comment on that.
Something I am very familiar with is sexual abuse of boys. We only hear about one-third of them. Most of them aren't reported because boys don't like people to look at them knowing that somebody has abused them--nor do girls, but boys especially.
I wonder if you can tell us why you've given some of the responses you have, some of the reasons why you are before this committee, and your opinion on this, as it relates to your job.
