Ten percent of students surveyed say they were abused at school – that is nearly 4.5 million U.S. students. That number doesn't begin to address the children who were abused in daycare centers, boys and girls clubs, faith organizations, sports programs, and other youth-serving organizations. Child molesters need access to abuse and what better way to gain it than to work for an organization that serves youth?
