The number of children being sexually abused in schools is completely unknown. Why do I say this? You will not believe it, but if I told you hundreds of thousands of children are abused, and virtually none of it is reported.
I sat on a school board. We had a 24 year old contact the district and inform us he was sodomized through his 4th grade year in school by his male teacher. He was made aware that same teacher was still teaching 4th grade and he contacted the district to inform us. We flew him from Colorado to Pennsylvania and our solicitor deposed him. He even took a lie detector and passed with flying colors. Now, there is a seven year statute of limitations for this, so our solicitor told us we could not go public and alert parents their child may have been abused by this sexual predator. Can you imagine?
But hey, we really protect our children in this country, right? HORSESH*T!!!!!
Our solicitor told us that if we went public, the predator could sue us for millions. Can you imagine? I could not believe this when it unfolded. I could not believe we care more for protecting the predator that should be dispatched to hell, promptly after being convicted, like the next sunrise. But stupid me, I want justice and that simply does not exist in America.
Bottomline, I told the solicitor, superintendent, and the other eight board members this man will resign quickly, or we will terminate his employment and take our chances in the corrupt courts. The predator wanted $500,000 to leave. I told the superintendent to tell him he has 48 hours to resign, or face immediate termination. He resigned. It took the moronic corrupt Commonwealth of Pennsylvania 1.5 years to yank this predator's teaching certificate, meaning he could pick up and go teach in another state and his criminal predator behavior continue. Ah yes, we care for our children. Pure hogwash. We care more for the criminal!!!
