Held "Hostage" by Tiny Lookerson

[Leslie Bartlett]

I've been tuning for a school district for nearly ten years. This year it's
state law one has to have a name tag. Next year it's state law that anyone
with "student contact" be fingerprinted.  It's obviously "assumed guilt"
until it absolutely can't be proven.  Knowing a teacher put in the place of
the "accused", and knowing no amount of insurance could save me if one kid
decided to mark me, I dropped the district and a substantial part of my
income. I can't afford to walk down a school hall.   Pretty sad.

Greetings, 
         Why?  It only takes one teenage girl/boy with
anger/depression/hostility issues to falsely accuse you of molestation.  You
will instantly be arrested.  In a court of law, it will be impossible to
defend yourself completely against the word of a child,  and even if you do,
the legal fees will bankrupt you. You will NEVER again be free of suspicion
and at worst, will find yourself listed as a sexual offender and life as you
know it will be over.  
   I haven't found a tuning yet that was worth even coming close to risking
that.
