Hidden horror of school sex assaults
The following is an excerpt from an Associated Press news article:
Relying on state education records, supplemented by federal crime data, a yearlong investigation by The Associated Press uncovered roughly 17,000 official reports of sex assaults by students over a four-year period, from fall 2011 to spring 2015.
Though that figure represents the most complete tally yet of sexual assaults among the nation’s 50 million K-12 students, it does not fully capture the problem because such attacks are greatly under-reported, some states don’t track them and those that do vary widely in how they classify and catalog sexual violence. A number of academic estimates range sharply higher.
“Schools are required to keep students safe,” said Charol Shakeshaft, a Virginia Commonwealth University professor who specializes in school sexual misconduct. “It is part of their mission. It is part of their legal responsibility. It isn’t happening. Why don’t we know more about it, and why isn’t it being stopped?”

It is much easier for the bureaucrats to take aim at US citizen RSO’s and think they have done their jobs while the real problems run rampant right in front of them. Why study the facts when innocents can be blamed with impunity and they can go off to lunch and leave for home every day at quitting time making their constituents believe they have kept them safe? Justice will never be served until those who are supposed to represent all citizens…especially tax payers…decide to make decisions based on reality and not paranoia and media hype.
