It's not "fondling" - it's sexual assault.

102. As a former educator of young children, once they are in the school system, they will get help.

Not only will it be obvious who they are (poor things), the teachers will be watching. I do not envy the educational system which they will enter, either. Or the parents whose kids are in their classes...I have seen situations where that is problematic.

Even though Oprah wasn't professionally bound to report the situation, school personnel are required and they work closely with Protective Services and Law Enforcement, if necessary.

And I don't want this to be about homeschooling, as tempting as that may be. I have two nieces who have home schooled 5 children each. Had I had more than one, I might have, as well, as they had no gifted programs in our district.

They are outstanding educationally, work in the community and church, are on various "teams" and they travel extensively. One is for religious reasons, the other because her kids are exceptionally bright and the public schools would have dumbed them down. She did have a "real" Home School teacher, as I would have, that did testing and checked in and to help her with materials, etc. Those who are grown...most of them, are highly functioning members of society.
