Evaluate the drafted changes
Currently, an article draft has not been created. In the 3rd paragraph of the original article, the first sentence is a run-on sentence (two independent clauses without proper punctuation):

"Before the age of 18, 1 in 5 children are sexually abused, this equates to more than 1 million children will be sexually abused this year. "

In the lead of the article, there are various claims indicating [not verified in body], so these statements could potentially be the outline for your draft edits. Finding credible sources for those claims and implementing them into the body of the article and citing appropriately in the lead may exponentially improve the quality of the article, considering the structure is pretty much already there and sufficient. The body does reference some of the claims made in the lead, so further citation may be sufficient without any major edits to the body.

The other major focus I would consider taking on would be updating references. Many of the references are extremely old. Unless newer literature doesn't exist, I wouldn't consider sources from the 1900's as my primary source of information. With the introduction of the internet and the prevalence of its role in child sexual abuse, I would consider many of the claims within the article outdated.
