I mean "Do not ever put your daughter in a situation where she can be pressured by older men to do what they want in order to advance." honestly means that daughter needs to be stay at home mom.

Any just a bit ambitious position have older men in position to pressure. And low paid jobs are ripe for abuse like that, because employees have zero power. I dont mean to say that abuse is everywhere. But the above quote does not describe some kind of unusual rare situation. It is pretty much everywhere.

Also, the parents believing is not the only nor the most important people who needs to believe. The parents taking their daughter away are not making abuser go away. Abuser just moves on another target. That is not solving the problem, that is just shifting victims until one does not know how to talk about it or have to make hard choice or is otherwise unprotected.

The issue with these institutions typically are years of cover ups of evidence.
