Child Abuse and Neglect
"Fatal child abuse or neglect is the fatal physical injury or negligent treatment of a child by a person who is responsible for the child's welfare. It is reported that more than 2000 children in the U.S. die of child abuse and neglect each year, and the actual number of abuse and neglect deaths is estimated to be much higher than that reported by vital statistics data."

Alpha Pub., 1990.  Paperback.  ISBN 156384057X.  "This book is an investigation into the human sexuality research of Alfred C. Kinsey.  Sufficient evidence is produced to demonstrate that much of Kinsey's research is unscientific and deliberately deceitful. Many of his conclusions are false, but these conclusions have been, and continue to be, regarded as 'scientific fact', and his research has become the basis for much that is taught in school sex education programs."
