    I found the book at Amazon, and was pretty shocked that they had it. In fairness to them, their editorial review of the book points out that the book is basically poorly crafted defensive hogwash attempting to justify its targeted audience's behavior.
    Re: Litigation and boycotts to pressure Amazon. Use your energy in more positive ways. I STRONGLY recommend donating money to your local childrens' advocacy center. Call your local prosecutor's office. They should be able to refer you to a center that provides "forensic interviewing" of children who have made an outcry of sexual abuse.
    Forensic interviewers are genrally Licensed Clinical Social Workers who speciallize in non-leading interviews of children, so that they can get as much information as possible from children detailing their abuse, without putting words in the childrens' mouths. The interviews are videotaped, then introduced as evidence in court if the forensic interviewer determines sex abuse has taken place.
    Children's advocacy centers generally offer counseling to abused kids as well, and sometimes medical examinations, too.
    These are not "witch-hunt" institutions, but non-profit centers designed to determine if abuse took place and then assist in gathering information about the abuse. The experts at the center normally testify in court as well, to explain childrens' behaviors, the process of disclosure, and other relevant facts about child sexual abuse so that jurors will understand why kids recant, minimize, or contradict themselves in disclosing their abuse.
    The child advocacy center in the Atlanta area is the Georgia Center for Children. It has offices in Fulton and Dekalb counties (the two largest Atlanta counties).
    Call your local prosecutor's office today to find out how you can help. You will truly be doing God's work.

    this thread seems relevant - it contains the following quote from JS Mill:

    and one more for good measure
