This is why I just don't like unrelated men alone with kids. A female pervert would tend to target a HS boy, but that sort of thing is so much more rare.

The majority of sexual abuse cases involve relatives or people very close to the family abusing the kids.

"The majority of sexual abuse cases involve relatives or people very close to the family abusing the kids." says Montgomery County Board of Education. A few children sexually abuses in classrooms is acceptable to us.

After we make that call, we fill out the form and hand it to administrations. And that's it. we've done our part. They never tel is what the outcome of an investigation is.

Idk this case specifically but there is a clear chain of command in MCPS.

I just completed the online RRCAN refresher. It really bothered me to be instructed to NOT keep a copy of the form after I submit it. You can be sure as hell I'm keeping a copy. I might keep it until the day I die, just in case someone ever accuses me of not following through on suspected abuse. There is no way that I'd ever knowingly or with reasonable suspicion allow a child to be abused. (MCPS teacher and CSA survivor)

Yes, I agree. I'm a teacher in MCPS and have made numerous calls to CPS. I used to keep a copy of the form but then over the past year or two we've been specifically instructed to not keep a copy. I didn't and now I seriously regret it. When I used to keep a copy of the form I would bring it home and put it away in a locked file cabinet so it's not like it was a privacy issue like it would be by keeping it at school. Ugh, I'm kicking myself now for listening to my principal when my common sense told me not to....

CPS is worthless.

I recently did the MCPS volunteer training and was surprised at the instructions not to keep the CPS reporting form.

Anyway. This case looks mighty fishy. Things might not have escalated to extremes, but I don’t think this teacher should be near children - he did not comply with appropriate conduct directions. Italian my foot.

They need to have background checks include a scan of your internet history or something to see if these weirdos are looking at sick stuff because I bet 100% that is where it is stemming from .
