Sex abuse in schools. No one wants to think about it let alone talk about it. But we must because the statistics are staggering and because living in denial puts children at risk. It wasn’t too long ago that no one wanted to talk about what was happening to children at the hands of priests either and we all know how that turned out. But as with the Catholic church, this is a very real problem in our schools nationally. Rhode Island is no exception.
Cranston West High School is the latest school here in Rhode Island to make news for a teacher allegedly abusing a student and the story gets worse by the day. Not only has a science teacher with a history of similar incidents in the past been arrested on twelve counts of second-degree sexual assault, but it turns out that a school psychologist had ample reason to suspect the abuse, yet chose to stay silent. He too has been arrested.

The culture of silence permeates the nation.

Pedophiles protect pedophiles. It wouldn't shock me one bit if that judge diddles kids.

That all pedophiles, crooks and nannies
Are hastily hiding in nooks and crannies.
I thought that their cloak shields their personal shortcomings so that blind justice prevails.
