In the UK , researchers who study child molestation, do not hold back or purposely skew statistics in regard to the percentage of women who sexually abuse children but freely publish these statistics. One such association, dedicated to educating the UK public in regard to child abuse, called “Kidscape", having a female director; Dr. Michelle Elliot, recently published statistics stating that 25% (1 in 4) cases of sexual abuse of children, is committed by women, the majority being mothers of these children. Another organization; the National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children (NSPCC) in the UK freely admits that 65% of child abuse in general, is committed by women.
