It really just enrages me when I read about EVIL this horrifying. As far as I am concerned, people who WE PAY to protect our children who then turn around and abuse them, deserve the electric chair. Check out this recent article out of Chicago:
https://graphics.chicagotribune.com/chicago-public-schools-sexual-abuse/index.html
Here is a key excerpt:
"Even in cases where school employees acted swiftly, they subjected young victims to repeated interrogations, inflicting more psychological pain and defying basic principles intended to preserve the integrity of an investigation. Ineffective background checks exposed students to educators with criminal convictions and arrests for sex crimes against children. And CPS failed to disclose to other districts that past employees had resigned after investigators found credible evidence of abuse and harassment. Whether the sexual attacks were brutal rapes, frightening verbal come-ons or “creepy,” groping touches, the students often felt betrayed by school officials and wounded for years."
The article then goes on to highlight that the Tribune had to sue the school district just to find out how many cases of abuse they had investigated (430) of which 230 were found to be credible. In a lot of cases the employees who abused the students had criminal records--even past arrests for similar inappropriate behaviors. Police records show even more cases (523) involving 500 Chicago-area schools.
Here is another brief excerpt:
"In all, the Tribune closely examined 108 cases and identified 72 school employees as alleged perpetrators in the last decade. The rest were student-on-student sexual attacks. The adults involved included award-winning teachers, lunchroom aides, counselors and coaches, security officers and two deans. No part of the city was spared. CPS employees sexually violated students in schools ranging from sports powerhouse Simeon to selective-enrollment Payton College Prep high school, police and school records show."
This is outrageous. Apparently, it's not just the streets of Chicago that aren't safe. The article continues by talking about how hard it is to sometimes get convictions against tenured teachers, sometimes taking years for these cases to wend their way through the school's procedures and the court system, and then the union. Apparently, no one is all that concerned about letting ACCUSED MOLESTERS continue to abuse children.
Here is one final excerpt:
"The Tribune sent its findings to CPS in early May. The district responded with a 25-page statement that confirmed a litany of shortcomings in its current practices and outlined a series of policy changes that it is now pushing urgently to implement. Acknowledging the bureaucratic failure to make abused students and their families a priority, the district pledged reforms in hiring, criminal background checks, investigative processes, disciplinary decisions, staff training and support for victimized students."
The schools all have policies requiring background checks for anyone seeking employment for positions involving contact with children, but, GET THIS, many schools apparently have not been following through on that requirement, allowing criminals access to kids!
I just don't know what to say anymore. I am so sick of hearing these excuses (like in that last excerpt) where people who get outrageous salaries promise they will "close the door" once the horses are all way down the road, I'm tired of it. The public is tired of it. You know the kids are tired of it. SO WHY IS IT ALWAYS THE SAME OLD STORY. We need bigger CRIMINAL PENALTIES not only for the actual abusers of kids, but for the administrators who are hiring pedos, and then stalling (or completely aborting) rightful justice.
You wanna know what I think? I think it stems from the billionaire pedo club running Amerika. The power to abuse kids with totally impunity apparently only applies to the billionaire pedos, but their underlings in government, and the underlings' underlings apparently can also get softer treatment than they should. Apparently, that goes all the way down to school employees.
Enough of the LIP SERVICE already. I want to hear about HARD TIME for these people, and nothing less than HARD time...more would be OK, too.
Matthew 18:6 But whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea.
Right. I often think of that verse when hearing these stories.
I'm an anti-crime extremist.
You must just love the Clintons and Bushes then...lol...
Those that did NOT do the background checks should be prosecuted as accessory to whatever crimes were committed!
The repeat offenders need to be in prison for the rest of their lives as a minimum, and the accessories to the crimes need jail time too!
THIS has to stop, it is Unacceptable, EVERY time!
:)I totally agree, sir. Well said!
Maybe we can just close Chicago....
That Would solve a lot of other problems too!
♡♡♡♡♡It sure would!
Then shut down: DC, NYC ,and LA? Then we could begin fixing some things!
Ironic that if they begin the violence they seem to love, those will become wasteland when the government money stops! They can NOT even feed themselves!
:'(True, but how exactly do we "shut them down?" We don't want them out here with us either.
Easy except for LA, When the government money stops, they have no way to leave, and cannot feed themselves. Sadly a self solving problem!
LA will spread out like locust, and will be a problem. Their cars are mostly for decoration, so they will not go as far as normal peoples cars do. But they will not all starve, so they are a larger problem.
I pray they gain wisdom and do NOT do start the violence to begin with! But I do not expect they will suddenly become smart, SMH!
