There was a young girl of 9 who confided in me on how she was abused by her uncle who was living with them. I encouraged her to tell her parents about it. After much persuasion, she agreed.

Where are the parents? They have left their primary responsibility in search of money, pleasure, fame, etc. Who are they working for? They usually claim it is for the sake of their children.
If the parents don't go out to search for money, how do you expect them to provide the basic needs of a child such as food, education? Of what use is sexual education to a hungry, malnourished and uneducated child?
Who can control the media, the teachers? No!
The teachers are employed by the government and the government has control over the media. There is a link between these three. Teachers have meetings with the government over educational issues. Parents DON'T!
Teachers have also been caught to violate children.

Teachers are NOT magicians. They are not omnipresent or omniscient. They have about 25 students they deal with. Some schools even have about 40 pupils or more in a class. Do you really expect a single teacher to monitor the sexual activities of 40 children? Common, let’s be realistic. Will the teacher be efficient? No. As a parent, you have less than 25 children to deal with and you still want to pass the bulk of the blame on the teachers? Doesn’t it sound ridiculous to you?

Take for instance, if I had a cute little girl- my daughter, I would give anything to make her happy and live a good life. I would be passionate about her. I wouldn’t want her to be misled or molested. She would be mine. I would have great interest in her. However, if she had a teacher she loved as well- a wonderful teacher. The teacher wouldn’t be as passionate about her future and sexual activities as I would, because she is my daughter and I would know, love and understand her better.

Parents (the sane ones), cannot violate their children.
Don't categorise. They are all parents I Th The major responsibility lies on the parents, while they share a minor percentage with the teacher(s). The child leaves home for school and still comes back home to watch TV and read magazines.
If the teachers had given adequate assignments or home works to the children, which time do they have to watch tv?
You only get educational materials in school from teachers, not movies, porn magazines, social forum, etc. So why blame the teachers?
I used to exchange mills and booms with my english teacher. Erotic novels are distributed more in schools during classes and the teachers see this books but do not seize them. Speaking from a personal experience
3. The child spends more leisure time at home, or away from school, especially on weekends. Free access to the internet, TV, magazines, etc. the teacher will not come from school to control the media access at home. We have Parental Controls on satellite TV networks, but have you ever heard of Teacher Controls? Even the media acknowledges the fact that the onus of the control lies with the parents.

I’ve had opportunities to work with children for years, and I’ve come to realize that at ages 1-3, they tend to dance to interesting tunes that catch their attention. You can manipulate them easily. They are very vulnerable. “This is when we need you parents, not when we’ve started growing baby beards.”
Most teenagers that have had sex one point or the other in their lives would have chosen differently if they had answers to the questions they couldn’t ask. Most girls will not even discuss their Menstrual Cycle with their mothers; neither will most of the boys discuss Wet Dreams or their crush with girls, with their fathers.
Because it is embarrassing for both sides. We are also referring to teenagers who feel their parents are the enemy which is a normal feeling at this age
Teri Hatcher, a celebrity, was raped by a family member when she was just a child. Her uncle raped her for several years starting when she was just five years old. Pray tell me, do we blame her school teacher for this or the media? Where was her mother or father?
Where was her teacher? She attends class everyday. She has spent a minimum of 2 months under her teacher. 2 months is enough to know your student's behaviour and know when he or she is not acting herself or himself
I say that parents are responsible for their children’s welfare and Sex Education, not the teachers or the media.
