Disturbing Rise in Grooming in Schools

There is a troubling rise in cases of teachers and coaches sexually grooming and abusing their students. Recent investigations, such as the misconduct allegations involving a coach at Ben Davis High School, highlight the prevalence of this disturbing issue. In that case, the coach allegedly sent sexual text messages and engaged in inappropriate physical contact with a student. This prompted an active investigation by authorities. Unfortunately, incidents such as these are not isolated and reflect a broader pattern of abuse within educational and sports institutions.
