U.S. military officials revealed that the problem of child-on-child sexual abuse is larger than was previously acknowledged, but they are seeking to repel the efforts of the Congress to address it.
Members of the Congress are demanding answers and are pushing the U.S. military. An investigation revealed that sexual violence reports among children are not getting enough attention, which often leaves both offenders and victims without any help.
Too Many Unprosecuted Cases
There have been over 600 sexual assault cases among kids over a 10-year period. The criminal investigators of the army are adding 86 more investigations at the moment.
A congressman from Texas is already trying to redirect the Pentagon to provide the state authorities with cases.
Responses to Accusations
The officials of the Pentagon school systems already responded that they are trying to come up with new rules about the sexual violence. The Department of Defense is promising more appropriate actions to help juveniles that are involved in sexual assaults.
