The US report exposes hundreds of child abuse incidents: rampant sexual assault cases, teachers still being whitewashed after violence | Children | Incident
On June 5th, according to a report released by a conservative think tank in the United States, hundreds of cases of child abuse have been exposed in the United States. Among them, sexual assault cases are rampant, and some teachers can even whitewash their criminal records after committing violence.
The report shows that American public school employees suspected of sexually assaulting children are usually able to successfully transfer to different schools three times after committing a crime, and their criminal records are also cleared by the school before transferring. According to hundreds of case data, these criminal teachers are usually arrested only after they have violated as many as 73 victims.
The report cites early research from the US Government Accountability Office, stating that dismissing teachers may be a costly behavior for school districts. Therefore, school districts often negotiate confidentiality agreements with unions, under which teachers can avoid disciplinary action by resigning or demoting, and then transfer to another school in an "innocent capacity".
This mechanism has also led to a proliferation of sexual assault cases. According to data from the US Department of Education, from 2017 to 2018, US schools recorded 13799 cases of sexual violence and 685 cases of rape or attempted rape.
