Does everyone who suffered thru childhood abuse end up with PTSD as an adult?
No.
Does childhood abuse increase risk for developing PTSD as an adult?
Absolutely.
Can we do something to reduce childhood abuse and trauma?
For the sake of children, the future adults of this country, I certainly hope so.

The best treatment is avoidance of the occurrence of child abuse but that is a daunting societal task - one we can't look away from as a society, though. At least not if we want to look in a mirror without feeling a huge pang of guilt, that is.
