". . . except for a certain amount of sexual frustration that was not gratified … the 4-year-old had not been significantly traumatized by these encounters."

In his book, True and False Accusations of Child Sex Abuse , Gardner (1992, pp. 608-12) provides a case example of his treatment of a 4-year-old child ("Jane") who was the victim of extra-familial child sexual abuse. Jane's mother consulted Gardner because her daughter was sexually acting out. The child later revealed to her mother that she was being molested by her nursery school bus driver. The driver had rearranged her route so that the little girl was the last child dropped off. Prior to taking the child home, the bus driver would park in an abandoned parking lot and sexually molest the child. The mother brought the situation to the attention of the school authorities and the bus driver reluctantly admitted that she had indeed molested the child. The school dismissed the driver. The mother sought Gardner 's opinion on whether she should report the bus driver to the police.
