Question about the teacher...

It’s just interesting to me that the people that tried to help are demonized and that the systems that we pay tax dollars to protect who actually profit off child abuse are not even mentioned. Also, how ignorant it seems that people don’t understand that being arrested for kidnapping and losing your job when you live paycheck to paycheck and have a family to provide for are not traumatic situations to consider. The spider bite thing and the snacks: those are all standard in the career. Mandated reporting about marks and rape are too. And we are really under strict policies. Remember when she wanted to take pictures and her principal panicked and said it was illegal for schools to investigate? THAT IS TRUE. People are all about following the laws in most situations, but if it’s a teacher, you’re the devil to try to follow the laws you are under when you had no idea the system would fail you. I’m still recovering from my job loss trying to protect vulnerable kids. And guess what? When they fired me, I had no way to even try to protect those kids anymore. So I’m still not the solution to the problem, even though I did all I could and followed morality over ethics.

I just suggest you direct your anger at the systems we tax money for that are supposed to protect because the corruption goes deep and they profit off abused kids. Regular people try to help at every turn, from police to family members to teachers, and you really have not a clue how impossible it is. You just want people to hate and you choose to hate everyone, even those that genuinely care. And you think rescuing kids is easy.

I look forward to hearing what happens to you when you kidnap a child and take them to the governor’s office, especially given that over half of the governors are opposed to social child protection services and vote against domestic violence laws for kids. Good luck with that!
