With a number that high, one would think that our society would do everything in its power, and take whatever precautions are necessary, to ensure that our children can be safe in one of the places they should feel most secure – their school.
To halt this abuse, people need to understand the contributing factors of this epidemic. A key contributor to the high incidence of this abuse is what is referred to as “passing the trash.” It occurs when a teacher accused of sexually abusing a student is allowed to quietly resign from his/her current position and subsequently move to another school district without the new employer being alerted to the allegations of misconduct. This practice endangers countless students every year throughout the country.
How does this happen? Some school administrators prefer to avoid the negative publicity of having a molester on staff, and the prohibitive legal costs of firing suspected abusers. They put children at great risk by remaining silent about known sexual predators. Their lack of loyalty to their students has created a pool of mobile molesters in education. (more...)
Sometimes they get caught (again):
