[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 88753, member: 84"] I don't pay much mind to statistics. But I do pay close attention to life experience. Now back in the day when I was in school, Jr high, we had a vice principal who was a preditor. Nicest guy you'd ever hope to meet, unless of course you were a kid under the age of 16 and happened to find yourself in his office alone. All the kids knew it. Everyone avoided him. Didn't help. Know one back then, at least that I knew, thought to tell on someone with so much power over their lives. My brother was one of his victims. He didn't speak up. It continued on for YEARS. One day my uncle buys this gorgious house on a steal. When we go to look at it after he moved in, he tells us it belonged to the same vice principal. Turned out a girl finally had the courage to tell her parents. VP had to sell his house to pay for legal costs. He was sitting in prison. I was 17 when my uncle bought that house. (uncle never knew the VP or his previous rep) This is only one of several I could tell about my own school days. Nor does it include physical abuse by a teacher. Now I live in a sm town 2 states away from where I grew up, and I swear here it is worse. And the stories that are being told to me are by upstanding adults who have no reason to make it up. They involve teachers, a principal who was for awhile the superintendent.....seems a good ol' boys club of preditors resides in this town in the sd. Ppl are too scared to speak out. It's unbelievable. [img]:smile:[/img] We had a scandle not long ago about a teacher in the hs getting a jr high student pregnant. Never reached the press. Guy got suspended for 6 mos. [img]:faint:[/img] I'm pretty sure a police report was never filed. It happens. Anywhere there are adults working with children there is the potential for it to happen. These sorts of preditors gravitate to those types of jobs because it gives them access to potential victims. Sad part is that there are also false allegations made. Which makes it even more difficult to root out the rotten apples. [/QUOTE]
