School children are at risk of child sexual abuse like never before. In public or private schools, urban or rural, reports continue to indicate that children are victimized at school - by teachers, coaches, volunteers and other children.
A recent flood of reports related to female offenders, victimizing both male and female students, has shocked the academic community. Athletic activities and overnight events continue to challenge schools that are often ill-equipped to protect children off school property or outside the classroom. We continue to be surprised by allegations at schools - we also continue to be surprised by confessions and admissions of predators that we would never have suspected.
Why? Because teachers and staff members responsible for supervising children do not understand barrier testing and grooming process utilized by molesters.
