We decided to send our son away to boarding school when he was 12 years old.....he is now 51. Only in the past few years have we discovered, to our horror, that he was sexually abused when he was there. Although he is now happily married he has felt unable to have children which has been a terrible disappointment to him. It has also effected us, as we feel that it was our fault in the first place. Maybe the uncovering of all these scandals will help to protect youngsters in the years to come. We sincerely hope so.
