After Donna disclosed, the mother intially blamed her but finally realized that her husband was the offender.
The film also pointed out that boys are often sexually abused and are even less likely to disclose. Abused boys are often from inattentive homes where they do not receive enough love and attention. Their abusers are often adults who take them out and give them gifts to gain their trust before the abuse occurs. Sex is later excha nged for gifts or money or psychological reasons. Women can also abuse younger men or children .
