Recent research indicates that nearly 10% of today's K-12
students--a stunning total of 4.5 million boys and girls--have been
victimes of sexual abuse/harassment by educators in the seemingly
safe and sheltered environment of their local schools. Writing from
the perspective of a concerned parent and grandparent, while
equally drawing upon his academic experience, expert witness work
in discrmination cases, and ongoing research on sexual harassment
in education, Dr. Charles J. Hobson has given parents, educational
professionals, child advocates, and law enforcement personnel an
indispensable and timely resource in the form of his new book,
Passing the Trash: A Parent's Guide to Combat Sexual
Abuse/Harassment of Their Children in School. This informative
guidebook seeks to educate parents and the broader commonity of
grandparents, relativee, and caregivers, alerting them to the
horrible reality of the pandemic of sexual abuse/harassment present
in America's schools. Citing actual cases and distilling findings
of authoritative studies into easy-to-understand summaries, Dr.
Hobson offers a comprehensive assessment of the nefariuos ways in
which child sexual abuse and harassment have been allowed to
flourish in the school environment, while also detailing the
various dynamics and influential forces that have allowed this
problem to continue unabated for decades. Passing the Trash
delivers much more that data and statistical trends however. Dr.
Hobson provides practical tools and proven methods for comating
school-based sexual abuse/harassment. Included are aggressive
strategies for confronting school officials and teachers, detailed
information on protocols for filing and documenting complaints with
government agencies and law enforcement officials, and specific
advice about how to educate and protect one's children from sexual
predators at school. A 2010 report to Congress entitled, "K-12
Education: Selected Cases of Public and Private Schools That Hired
or Retained Individuals with Histories of Sexual Misconduct," cited
the most outrageous and pervasive problem in this area was a
phenomenon know as "passing the trash." This is a common, decades
long practice whereby school systems encourage child sexual
offenders to voluntarily resign in exchange for a positive letter
of reference, no legally required reporting to police, and no
disciplinary action. In such secret deals, child victims are not
even acknowledged and certainly not given the counseling support
they need to recover. In the wake of recent, ongoing sexual abuse
scandals involving Penn State and the Catholic Church, there has
never benn agreater need for parental vigilance and protective
action. Passing the Trash will equip readers with the knowledge and
tools needed to insure that they can take charge of their
children's safety at school and shield them from educator sexual
predators. It will also help create the public awareness and
understanding necessary to bring this insidious problem under
control. The bottom line is, if you are interested in protecting
your daughter or son from sexual abuse/harassment at school, then
this book is required reading for you and other like-minded parents
and grandparents.
