Children have civil rights just like adults.
Not only is it a crime to abuse a child, it’s a violation of the child’s rights.
When a child is abused by someone at public school, there has been an especially egregious violation of trust. Taxpayers entrust and pay public schools to educate our children
On July 13, 2013 an elementary school teacher in the Las Cruces Public School system was arrested for inappropriate sexual contact with several young girls. These girls have the right to be protected from a predator within our educational system. While the arrest, done by law enforcement, is always an important step, the school also has the duty to take steps to protect these children – long before an arrest becomes necessary – by performing background checks and screening and taking other precautionary measures.
McGraw Law & Associates understands how important it is to protect children from sexual abuse and other abuse. If a child you know has been abused in our schools, in anyway, you can contact our firm at (575) 323-1529.
