It's the classical problem of how do you provide protection for someone with no power in a relationship against the person with all the power in a relationship. Do you believe the rape victim, or the rapist? The child or the parent? The physically/mentally disabled or their care givers? Sadly, there's been too many people in power who have proven themselves to be assholes to just trust the people with the power when they say they're not assholes.
