What You Don't Know Will Hurt You: Sexual Abuse in Schools takes a look at the recently publicized concerns surrounding child sexual abuse in today's schools. It provides an overview of child abuse, specifically focusing on sexual abuse and move to a discussion on sexual abuse in the schools, including a look at legislation designed to protect students and the impact of this legislation in public schools. A chapter looks specifically at the impact of child sexual abuse on children with exceptionality to lay a foundation for protecting this segment of the population who are at greater risk of abuse. The earlier sexual abuse scandal in the Catholic church is used as an example to show proactive response that could be modeled in public education. Additionally, suggestions for prevention and intervention are presented. This book is a must-read for educators, administrators, counselors and anyone who is interested in breaking the cycle of abuse and victimization in society.
