In an ideal world I'd agree, but that's not what we live in. Some parents take the "my little Johnny would never do that" approach, others are so narrow-minded and rigid that the kids are afraid to approach them about any personal issues. I'm glad I never had to deal with any such issues because my parents would have fit in the latter category. I also learned at a young age that confiding in other adults wasn't a good idea either because whatever I said would likely get back to my parents and would only make things worse.
That’s terrible. The father should _____ the MF that did that to his daughter.
Well it should be the world we live in….
I went to Catholic school for 8 yrs, was an altar boy etc and never heard anything like that. And our church had a priest who was convicted of molesting kids! It can be something the congregation has no clue about. We also had a lay teacher/BB coach who hooked up with an 8th grade girl, my sister's best friend, and her mother was a lay teacher there. Insane.
Exactly -- so the govt should stay out of a parent/child/physician relationship.
Yep. And to me that especially means teachers and school counselors.
Look at the statistics for freshman dropouts during the 1st year and compare it to freshman in athletics dropout rate. Huge difference. One reason - athletes have an adult on their a** making them attend study table, class etc while the rest are just on their own to figure it out. We could do better than turn a bunch of 18 yr olds who've never been responsible for their living situation, going to class, paying bills and generally living, loose to figure it out in college.
Nope --- teachers aren't renaming kids. State govts are making it a crime for a parent/physician to take care of their child's needs.
I doubt it.
