While I am not implying that the cause of these problems is solely over exposure to inappropriate information, I believe that it has played a tremendous role.
Back on topic. This little girl will grow up to be a fabulous woman doing faboulous things. Her parents are doing a great job with her especially if she is confident and confortable in her own skin. But, I am concerned that she will feel cheated because she didnt have much of a childhood.

A child's maturity and ability to handle the truth of their history will be a judgment call that the parents would have to make on an individual basis. I missed your point with the statistics, etc. I think a parent who cares and is dedicated enough to teach their child history is capable of accessing their child's maturity and ability to handle the truth.
Where are you getting the idea that this child "didn't have much of a childhood"? Because her dad taught her the truth, etc. that took away her childhood? I disagree.
