There's also an issue of the kid being at risk from someone the
parents might not know too well. Michael Jackson......
It's happened. Locally, there was a case from about 1991 where a teacher
went on trial for doing things he shouldn't have. The stories specifically
mentioned that he lured the boys in through computers and amateur radio.
It's a terrible thing, and it happens all too often. And it's going to
happen wherever parents fail to supervise thier kids. Too many parents are
ready and willing to drop Johnny off at (enter name of program, place or
facility) without exercising SOME sort of oversight. This doesn't mean looking
over thier shoulder 24/7, but "unscheduled" visits are a great way for parents
to get a good idea of what's going on.
