Esperanza teacher arrested...

My kid thought he was a good teacher too. I talked about it for these reasons:
1. This is child abuse and I want the message to be clear - we never keep quiet about child abuse. Never.
2. You never know what innapropriate behavior was happening when. History tells me that for whatever reasons children hide terrible secrets - sometimes not realizing how important it is. I want my kids to know this is always an open topic.
3. While we hope and we make guesses based on what we believe to be reliable evidence, it isn't likely to be an isolated incident - abusers have trails and are highly accomplished deceivers.
4. I cant repeat this enough - NO SECRETS when it comes to sexual misconduct and children.
5. Someone else said it - you better believe the kids will be talking this summer and at school this fall. You NEED to have the primary influence. I don't want my child to ever think this is no big deal - and given the history @EMS, these kids already think these things are acceptable.


You and Barnacle are both right. I'm going to talk to the boy about this. I'll probably have him read the article as well. Thanks, again.

The article in the Enterprise is probably better for him than The County Times. It was very graphic.
