Maybe we should hold other teachers, support staff and administrators who can be shown to have had knowledge of the abuse or misconduct and did not report it, or take action to stop it, to be help criminally liable for their action -- or inaction -- as it may be.
Although I personally believe that the district ought to be held financially liable for any damages associated with the misconduct, such as counseling, medical and psychiatric care, etc. for the student and immediate family members. I'd even consider throwing in financial compensation for families for lost wages and damages incurred to relocate if they chose to do so, rather than keep their child in that environment.
In the Perry case 10 girls reported to a teacher and principal, they were called liars and did nothing allowing more to be abused, they're mandated reporters yet the principal was only charged with one misdemeanor and got probation. It was a teacher that brought the molester into the school as an aid and then teachers left their classes alone with him while they left for personal business without the principals knowledge which was considered acceptable for some reason instead of neglect or dereliction of duty.
In the McCloud case there was a situation where she felt safe from any oversight allowing her to have little girls undressing in class, does the principal never check on classes? And while $1.4Mil. may seem like a lot but that's split to cover the counseling for 14 victims and there are 24 victims in the Perry case.
