Nearly 10% of school children say they were sexually abused by school staff. Minority children have much higher numbers compared to their numbers as students.

What happens when a teacher, a bus driver, a coach or a crossing guard at your school sexually abuses?

The child becomes fearful of adults, of school, becomes sad, and often suffers physical health problems. Nearly always he or she suffers emotional problems.

Your school staff loses parents' trust.

Direct costs recently paid by a South Carolina school for one case: more than 5.1 million.

The financial costs are staggering. For private schools and daycares, and public schools as well, there is a greater cost. Loss of trust. Parents move their children to another school. The staff in charge becomes suspect. Some are asked to resign.

With new technology, there is a way to reduce your risk.

Every school has the same problem.

At least 6% of all adults sexually abuse children. More than 95% of them have no criminal record. Nearly all start the behavior at an early age - 14 to 18 years old.

Most abuse a child because they have a sex drive directed at children.

So, 6% of the people wanting jobs at a school are sexual abusers of children. They are practiced at getting by your screening.

The school group with the most abusers are teachers, followed by coaches and bus drivers.

And you may be at risk from your own school system passing off problematic teachers who have been terminated at another school and are now applying to your school.

You may be doing everything you can. The abuse is definitely not your fault. Still.

Nearly 10% of school children say they were sexually abused by school staff.

What if you could reduce the risk to your school by at least 70% before you hire?
