Jim, Sure kids get caught by predatory teachers, or coaches, day care providers, or even Sunday School instructors, in places where the most attentive parents should have been able to trust the care giver. That is NOT what I am referencing.

Though parents can do much to minimize such dangers. My wife or I attended EVERY field trip our kids went on in school. We made sure our kids knew they could approach us and discuss anything.

As I said, I am referencing parents who willingly hand their kids over to abusers.

My Step Mom is a perfect example. Money changed hands in 1969, and her parents signed the papers for her to become married at age 13 to a man 15 years older than she. It was a great shock to her when that husband was accused of being a pedophile, and molesting the girls in his Sunday School Class. For which he was convicted.

She divorced him while he was in prison and thereafter met my Dad.

Her parents should have suffered the same prison term as the pedophile she was married to.

The OP is a similar case.
