WOW! After reading this article I just didn't know exactly what to think! A thirteen year old girl is now pregnant because her teacher had sex with her. This man is in his forties messing around with the kids in his class. Now you can't tell me their is nothing wrong with that picture. It's sad when the person this thirteen year old girl looks up to has sex with her and tells her mother that he wants to marry her. This is just wrong in so many ways.
According to media reports another teacher from western Kenya has been found to be HIV positive and has sexually abused five girls between the ages of seven and thirteen. What I don't get is why don't people try to put an end to this? I know in the U.S. if anything like this was going on the teacher would lose their job and it would be hard for them to find a new one that's for sure. It makes you wonder how safe your children are while they are in school, especially those parents in Kenya. Of the 12,660 girls who have been sexually abused by their teachers, only 633 teachers have been charged with offenses. Recent studies have shown that over 90% of sexual abuse cases have never reached the Teacher's Service Commission who are responsible for the code of conducts for teachers. Many of the sexual abuse trials are hard to prove in girls that are in younger ages, unless they are pregnant. Reason being why many cases of sexual abuse amongst teachers and students is hardly ever turned in is because of good grades. These children who don't do so well in school go to the teacher and the teacher says, "Well if you have sex with me I'll give you that passing grade." This is just downright sick! Students and teachers both know better than that, but still do it anyway. It's so sad to hear about, and those teachers who do go through with it should be terminated!
As you can see, this is a sad sad subject, and I wish it was easy to fix, but it's not...
