Alice Miller, a Swiss psychologist, speaking about child abuse has said: “Child abuse damages a person for life and that damage is in no way diminished by the ignorance of the perpetrator. It is only with the uncovering of the complete truth as it affects all those involved that a genuinely viable solution can be found to the dangers of child abuse.” - Alakh Alok Srivastava Vs.
