Unfortunately, this happens a lot more than some people may think around the world. It's easier for parents, etc. to hide it when children grow up in an isolated setting such as this one due to the lack of other outside adults (i.e. doctors, teachers, police officers, etc.) being able to determine what is going on in this particular environment.(less)
