[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 88614, member: 1233"] I have no idea what will help. I do know that until we start reporting the abuse to the police it will not stop. The schools fear lawsuits and loss of reputation and standing, so they are very motivated to prevent families from contacting the police. Not all police departments are willing to handle these reports of abuse because they think it can't really happen, in spite of what they see every day. The statistics that show almost 10% (4.5 million out of 50 million students) of students experience sexual abuse means it can happen ANYWHERE. Not just in Catholic schools, in ALL schools. And not just by men, women can and do abuse male students. So very many dedicated teachers spend their whole working lives getting no respect while they try to give our kids the knowledge and tools to be productive and happy adults. It is a dang shame we have to spend energy and $$ sorting out perverts. Woudln't it be great if we could just not have perverts anywhere? Esp in schools? I am very aware of the many wonderful people who teach our children. I am the daughter of 2 teachers, the niece of a few more, and the wife of a former teacher. The work they do never ends. It is untold hours of planning, grading, standing all day, hard physical labor, bad working conditions, stress and very little pay. The rewards for the job are the hugs and kisses that are fewer and fewer, seeing the progress a child makes, and that rare visit from a student who graduated and came back to say "Thank you, you made a difference in my life." It is a shame that people willing to do so much for so little are embarrassed by perverts who move from system to system. It is a shame that our children and teachers do not have the safety of having these perverts removed from teaching, that the perverts can just move instead of facing jail time.
