Study: Most Self-Abuse Goes Unreported
BOULDER—According to a study released Tuesday by the University of Colorado sociology department, approximately 95 percent of self-abuse cases in the U.S. go unreported.

Quote

Yet the study finds that unreported abuse victims comprise an alarming 87 percent of the female population and 99.6 percent of males.

The numbers are just staggering.

Quote

Hattchett said the shelter provides a self-abuse hotline, but the 900-number seems to do more harm than good.

"We placed ads in the back of men's magazines and newsweeklies," Hattchett said. "The sisters find that the majority of the victims who reach out to them are unable to escape their tormentors, even during a short phone call. We thought having non-threatening, soft-voiced women answer the phones would make it easier for victims to discuss the problem, but most callers only seem interested in the operators' fashion choices or whether they like to 'party.'"

Thank goodness for the help of these young women.
Probably young medical students taking time away from their studies to help others.

I tried to report myself to the hotline, but she hung up after I asked what she was wearing.

Lucky for you... She sent me a picture when I asked what she looked like... Think of billyvance posts

Some people refrain from beating a dead horse. Personally, I find a myriad of entertainment value when beating it until it becomes a horse-smoothie.
