I only have one or two of those cases at one time. They require a lot of time to work up because they are worth a lot of money and any mistakes are my fault. The way I get through it is two myself that it has already happened and financially I can help the victims - many of which are struggling financially from the abuse.
At this point it is because public schools are not as selective about who they hire to teach - because in public schools there are children that are easier targets and because private schools, especially Catholic ones, have become very diligent about identifying questionable teachers. Also - public schools and school districts hide questionable behavior in plain sight all the time. Public schools are a hot bed for the his type of activity and he everyone just assumes it’s churches or private schools. It still happens in private schools - but not as often as in the past.
Like I said, it happens everywhere, including public schools, private schools and churches. In more than 90% of cases, the perpetrator is someone that the child knows, trusts, and loves. About 23% of teens aged 12 to 17 were abused by a family member, while 60% were abused by someone the family trusts, such as a neighbor, family friend, or teacher. Children under the age of 12 are sexually assaulted in a perpetrator’s residence 84% of the time. 96% of perpetrators of child sexual abuse are male. Additionally, statistics show that the perpetrator is a married male in 76% of cases. Children who live with a step-parent are 20 times more likely to be sexually abused, and foster children are 10 times more likely to be victims of sexual abuse. 73% of child abuse victims don’t tell anyone about the abuse for at least a year. Less than 35% of children’s sexual abuse claims make it to court. For many victims, there may be little or no memory of the abuse. For those that do remember, it can take great courage to disclose the abuse to someone they trust. Unfortunately, one in three adults wouldn’t believe a sexually assaulted child. Many child abusers choose career paths that will bring them regularly in contact with children, are highly respected members of the community. Others may volunteer to supervise children's sports or club activities. Some are in positions of authority over children, like teachers, doctors, police officers, clergymen, and coaches. The typical child molester is able to harm large numbers of children without being caught, in part, because he has already established a trusting relationship, playing on children's sense of loyalty, vulnerability, shame, and naivete, and fortifying his power to silence them through bribery, coercion and violent threats. All a parent can do is try their best to keep their child safe, talk to them, teach them what's appropriate and what's not, ask questions, and encourage them to speak out when anything inappropriate happens. Never shame them. Believe them. You can't feel safe leaving your children simply because they seem nice and are respected in the community. Be a chaperone on weekend youth trips.
None of that really has anything to do with what I said - that right now public school districts have a serious issue with teachers having sexual contact with their students. I never claimed it is only in public schools or in a school setting. What I am telling you - as someone that represents people that were sexually assaulted by adults in positions of authority - is that a lot of the children being molested over the last 5-10 years, are molested by public school teachers. Private schools and religious institutions were hit very hard with lawsuits for 20 years, and have done a better job of weeding out people with red flags - public school districts in general have not and it is a serious problem. Also what you posted is a simple thumbnail sketch of a problem that is fairly complicated. Pedophiles for example are not all the same, and use different strategies. There are 3-4 different types of pedophiles, some will only have a single victim in their entire life, some will have hundreds. It depends on the classification of victims. There is a lot to it. Ultimately the biggest problem I see with my clients is adults that don’t trust their gut about behaviors from adults that act odd around children and parents that are negligent and not actively involved with their children. Yes, a perfect parent can have their child be a victim of molestation. However, there are almost always lots of signs that adults overlook.
Minnesota mom accused of having sex with two boys, 15, at hotel after marriage spat Spoiler Not a teacher but definitely
"The two boys said they felt pressured and eventually told her she had to leave " https://nypost.com/2024/02/04/news/...r-old-boys-at-hotel-after-fight-with-husband/
Terrible. 'Oh yeah? I'm a b****? I'll show you a b****! I'm going to be a pedophile now, *******!' Lock her up.
This would have made for a great Penthouse Forum story......................I went to many out-of-town tournaments when I was young and if this would have happened to me and a buddy, I would have told EVERYONE on my team..................but alas, those were different times.
1st pic I was like YES! 2nd pick I was like NO! (I mean, yeah, but I wouldn't tell anyone about it). But the Neve Campbell seasoning reeled me BACK in! Good marketing.
I am certain that a single woman forced both hockey team player boys to pull out their stuff and do it with her...or more likely when they were done they said "We done, your loose butt gotta go."
