But now a raised awareness of the issue and how it impacts children's lives is bringing about a new determination to break the cycle of sexual, physical and verbal abuse that is passed from parents to children.

In this month's RG Magazine, free with tomorrow's edition of The Royal Gazette , Robin Zuill takes an in-depth look at child abuse, including some harrowing case histories, and the problems Bermuda faces in dealing with it.

The rest of the magazine will get you in the mood for summer.

Award-winning photographer Antoine Hunt captures the latest in beachwear in our second annual men's swimwear issue, while cool pools, cottage gardens and solar power are among the features in our annual homes and gardens section.

It wouldn't be summer without cricket and outdoor concerts and in this month's issue, Dexter Smith profiles Cup Match players Graham Fox of St. George's and Dexter Basden of Somerset, and Roger Crombie soaks up the sound of soca.

Also, Judith Wadson travels down new Mexico way and CBS This Morning anchor Paula Zahn reveals her favourite part of Bermuda.

It's all in this month's RG Magazine and it's only free with The Royal Gazette tomorrow. Don't miss your copy!
