Reply #91: No I HAVE NOT ... [View All]

But that doesn't change the fact that it's my opinion, unless there is some indication of a problem, it is not the public school system's right or obligation to assume, what has and should remain, a parents responsibility. Most children KNOW by the age of four not to go with strangers, or to tell someone you trust if you're being beaten, sexually, abused, etc. Also there is no guarantee that this would encourage kids (that are being abused) to speak up. Most often, by age five, they would already Know if there is abuse taking place ... it isn't right. They are Afraid to say anything. I find it difficult to believe not a single teacher noticed anything unusual with these girls. A poster who is a teacher has made the comment that the school district in that town is exceptional. And later posted teachers know their kids very well. Gee ... glad to hear that it wasn't a shitty district with an out of touch administration. And I do know that, sadly, those exist as well.
