Child Sex Abuse in Public and Private Schools
Although some stories — like the one involving Mary Kay Letourneau — ave garnered major headlines, sexual misconduct in schools is a seriously underreported problem.
One report released by the U.S. Department of Education indicated that nearly one out of every 10 students is targeted for sexual misconduct during his or her school career by a predator disguised as a teacher, principal, administrator, staff member or coach. Other studies have also indicated that the perpetrators of sexual abuse within schools are just as likely to be women as they are men, if not more so.

Bringing About Positive Change
There is no gray area with child sex abuse. Inappropriate touching. Fondling. Molestation. Sex. They're all equally wrong, equally offensive and equally damaging. Unfortunately, the strong societal taboo against adult-child sexual relations often works against society's own interests — simply because no school, church or any other institution or organization wants to admit that one of its members has been sexually abusing children in any way, shape or form.
Instead, allegations are often ignored or acted upon weakly by moving suspected predators around from place to place or transferring them to new positions.
Coming forward to acknowledge that you were sexually abused by an educator and seeking appropriate compensation both encourages schools to stop enabling predators and prevents new lives from being severely damaged or destroyed. This brave step forward can also be the first of many on your path to moving past the abuse and getting the help you need to live a happier, healthier life.
