Educators et al- Protect Children
The Miramonte Elementary School tragedy has been the topic of discussion across the country. Educators and other professionals that are mandated reporters are supposed to be in the position of protecting children...not hurting them!
It is beyond the realm of understanding for any person dedicated to education and welfare of children to accept the horrific truth that there are predators lurking in classrooms, hallways, bathrooms and locker rooms throughout elementary, middle, and senior high schools committing flagrant crimes against innocent children.
In addition, there are people on school campuses who are very much aware that these atrocities are taking place...and say nothing. These individuals are just as much the perpetrator as the person performing the lewd acts!
ALL CARING PROFESSIONALS....this is my plea....
OPEN YOUR EYES and be very aware of your surroundings..
OPEN YOUR EARS and listen to conversations that take place around campus...
OPEN YOUR MOUTH and speak up on behalf of children who may be experiencing abuse.
It is our responsibility as the VILLAGE to protect children.
THANKS FOR CARING!!!!!!!!
