Sexual Abuse in Public Schools...

[Lumpy 1]

Just the tip off the iceberg.

CHICAGO (WLS) --
A mother is filing a lawsuit against the Chicago Public Schools claiming that her son was sexually assaulted.

A Chicago family is challenged in finding resources to help their son, who is now 6, because last year they say sexual abuse by another child turned their happy little boy into a boy who is afraid and is acting out. They say they are taking action to protect their son and other children.

Each school day, staff at Chicago Public Schools supervise thousands of students. Now, a local family questions whether a kindergartener at Wendell Smith Elementary was protected from the sexual abuse of another child last year.

"This case is about holding CPS and the Board of Education for what they should have done which is to protect all of the children involved in this incident," said Jessica Arbour, attorney for the child.

A federal lawsuit naming Chicago Public Schools alleges the 5-year-old's rights were violated when another 5-year-old forced him to engage in sexual acts in a school bathroom, and that Smith school administrators did not take appropriate action after an initial complaint. As a result, the boy was allegedly victimized two more times.

Almost 1 in 10 children, "subjected to sexual misconduct", in public schools according to this report. This is outrageous, time for teachers unions and their ties to the Democratic Party be dissolved in my opinion.

---------------------------

The failure of U.S. schools to protect students from sexual abuse by school personnel is a story of district cover-ups, lack of training, incomplete teacher background checks and little guidance from the U.S. Department of Education, according to a new federal report.

The U.S. Government Accountability Office said the nation’s K-12 schools lack a systemic approach to preventing and reporting educator sexual abuse of students, despite a problem that the report said affects an estimated 9.6 percent of students – nearly one in 10 – who are subjected to sexual misconduct by teachers, coaches, principals, bus drivers and other personnel during their K-12 career. That figure is from a 2004 report made to the U.S. Department of Education and is the most recent estimate available, according to the Government Accountability Office report released last week.

“Although states and school districts are taking some positive steps,” the report said, “current efforts are clearly not enough.”

Hampered by inadequate access to employee background information, school districts unwittingly hire teachers and staff accused of sexually abusing students in other districts and states, the report said. With little training on how to recognize early signs of predatory behavior, school employees don’t always pay attention to a colleague who is “grooming” a student for sexual abuse with inappropriate attention. And some school districts quietly dismiss teachers accused of potential child sexual abuse, without alerting future employers or seeking to revoke teaching credentials, the report said.

I'm sure libbies are going to yell it's all for sex ed.

 

[Mr. H.]

When I was a substitute back in the ought-90's I noticed the janitor showing up in my classroom talking to the elementary kids and offering way too many hugs.

This was around the same time my daughter didn't want to go to school because of stomach aches.

So I met with the principal and told her of my observations.

She asked if I thought my daughter's illness was related.

I told her that if they were, I would kill that mother fucker.

I'm sure libbies are going to yell it's all for sex ed.

They would rather remind us of the Catholic Church and their sick policies of the past than accept that the public school systems are using the same sick policies on a far far greater scale...

Teachers Unions are a protected class within the democratic party machine..

 

[Mr. H.]

I think that Liberals would rather my daughter be sexually abused than terminate the tenure of one of their union pals.

True story Brotches.

Yeah, they need more republicans in the school to influence the kids properly - like Denny Hastert.

I believe the issue deserves an airing out, if you don't, I understand.

I admit I don't know how the system works, perhaps as you indicate, administrators should also be investigated.

The system sucks and children are being sexually abused. I believe we can both agree that something must be done, what do you recommend?

I'm not familiar with case you sited

Well, he is a family values republican after all. He is probably opposed to teacher's unions as well. Maybe Josh Duggar too. He's another upstanding republican who cares about kids.

 

[SwimExpert]

Wait a second.....5 year olds are sexually abusing fellow 5 year olds?

This is....going to take some convincing for me to believe.

 

[Lumpy 1]

This is a difficult issue to research, most of the government studies stopped in 2007. At least, that's what I have found so far.

I don't know enough about the Chicago school system....what I do know is it is not the Feds problem, but a local/State issue...

I am still in shock over a 5 year old sexually abusing another 5 year old!!!!

and this good mother is doing the right thing by suing and bringing attention to the problem and getting her son therapy.

I worry about the conditions the 5 year old abuser lives in... that has made him this way....for goodness sakes!

I KNOW that kind of abuse of a 5 year old against another does not happen here in Maine....where I live, we have something like 1 teacher for every 10 students, so they can be watched....

I think Chicago has something like 20 students per teacher....twice as many rascals to keep your eye on, can't make it easy....

What do you propose? A guard in every bathroom maybe?

When I was five years old, I recall all kinds of inappropriate behavior, including the one day I took a classmate around the corner during recess to play "show me yours and I'll show you mine." Of course, I was the one with my pants down when we got caught, which I guess is poetic justice since it was all my idea in the first place.

Anyway, five year olds do things they shouldn't, by and large because they don't understand that they shouldn't. I find it very difficult to say a five year old sexually assaulted a classmate. I suspect this is more likely a case of a five year old not understanding boundaries (as might be expected of their age) and touching a classmate a couple times, because unicorns. And the parents of the "victim" making mountains out of molehills in accordance with the time honored "my child's an angel" fallacy.

I'm not up on the issue, has Denny Hastert been convicted of a crime?


I'm thinking the issue I'm posting on has no validity for you and you would rather distract than discuss it, am I right?

You're the one who started to politicize this implying that sexual misconduct in the schools is somehow the fault of democrats, teachers, and teacher's unions.

The abuse pisses me off but also the fact that these employees of the school system can just move on and continue elsewhere. I'd probably start there. If you read over the 2nd link I believe it also includes suggestions to at least reduce this foul inhuman craziness.

It has to do with the link you posted on teachers abusing kids in grades k - 12.

Dennis Hastert allegedly abused teen boys while he was a teacher and coach...at first there was just 1 victim, the one coercing Hastert to pay him for the abuse, thus the huge withdrawals from his bank account that brought the FBI in to it, then there was a second accuser, and now there is a third victim coming forward....

the Lord says you need a minimum of two witnesses to accuse a person of a crime, 3 is the cherry on top....
