School

Los Angeles School Sexual Abuse Attorney

School is a place of high trust and expectations. Teachers, educators, and administrators are believed to have our children’s interest at heart. They are not only entrusted with educating our children but to also help them develop morally and socially. It is essential that they maintain a safe environment for our children. They have a duty to do so.

There are over 50 million children attending school in the US each year. In 2004, a report was prepared for U.S. Department of Education that found nearly 9.6 percent of students are victims of sexual abuse sometime during their school careers.* This abuse was committed by school personnel including teachers, principals, coaches, and school bus drivers.

This suggests that as many as 5 million children may be subject to sexual abuse. This is a horrific statistic and one that should give every parent pause.

If you believe your child may have suffered sexual abuse at school, do not wait to call (626) 323-8351 or contact us online. Our Los Angeles school sexual abuse lawyer offers free, confidential consultations.
