This sentence really gets to the heart of the problem when it comes to suspected molesters in schools: "The administrator of his contract, Eileen Skone-Rees, said Ruthenbeck didn't protest when she canceled his contract. The two never directly discussed the alleged abuse of Johnson. "I didn't ask, and he didn't offer," she said this week."
While our elected officials continue to pass laws against sex predators, obvious problems when it comes to schools and reporting abuses to police aren't dealt with. I wrote this story last year about a substitute teacher who was banned from several districts but none knew about it. Why? because of privacy concerns.
