Experts say lack of sex education, neglect behind child abuse cases

Legal experts said a lack of awareness among minors, parental negligence and flawed safety systems are often to blame for the sexual abuse of minors.

In China, few parents are aware of the importance of sex education, and often wait until their children are 14 or 15 years old, said Hong Daode, a law professor at China University of Political Science and Law.

Schools only offer physical health classes rather than opening sex education courses, and most minor victims lack awareness of how to protect themselves, he said.
