Oklahoma Is In Trouble When It Comes To Sex Abuse Of Students In Public Schools

Wednesday, November 13th, Michael and Jenni talked to V1SUT substack author Mary about why it is that there have been so many student abusers in Oklahoma public schools - both accused and convicted. Mary says that two reasons stand out - 1. Oklahoma has no "pass the trash" legislation. When a public school employee is accused of sexual misconduct in one school system, they just move to another and start again. Such is the case of Brent McGee in Wetumka (https://v1sut.substack.com/p/ungrooming-an-oklahoma-town-arrest) but there are many more examples. 2. Oklahoma needs to change the statute of limitations on child sex crimes. Victims often can't reconcile sex crimes committed by Oklahoma public school employees until later on in life. Adults should be able to sue the public school of the employee for longer than the 2 years currently in statute.

Without addressing these issues, Oklahoma students cannot be considered safe from sexual predation. Please follow V1SUT's substack for more information - V1SUT.com

How To Stop Child Predators In Public Schools Like Wetumka - ROPE Report Short

In this video, Mary, of V1SUT, and Casey Yochum, one of the many victims of Brent McGee, former coach, teacher and athletic director at Wetumka public schools - where his wife Donna was the Superintendent - talk about the signs parents and community members can watch for to protect students/children against child predation. This is a great short video to watch and then share with other parents. It is invaluable information that so many people overlook. So many times a coach taking time with a student is considered mentoring - and hopefully MOST of the time it is - but not always and people in the community and within the school need to have their eyes open. Unfortunately, as talked about in the video, oftentimes, victims are looked at as lying when they come forward to tell their stories of abuse by school personnel. Then, the school closes ranks around the accused and the victim is further locked out and ignored. You can find the entire video here on our YouTube channel under our 'live' video tab and you can find Mary at V1SUT.com. There, you can find all the stories of abuse that she has been following within public schools over the last several years. This. Must. Stop.

Your Sexuality Makes You Immune From The Vetting Process - V1SUT; ROPE Report Live

Our July 17th visit with V1SUT, brought to the forefront - yet again - how adults who sexually abuse children seem to somehow get lost in the system. It's bad enough when heterosexuals assault children (see V1SUT Vantage's series on Bad Coaching, describing coaches who preyed upon their young female players), but when members of the "LGBT" community are involved, it seems as though they are untouchable.

Here, Mary tells us about a situation in Bartlesville where a same sex female couple was allowed to foster a child. The child's arm was later broken, but no investigation occurred before the couple was given another child to foster, who died while in their care at 2 months of age.

Parents should be aware of not only what is going on in their schools, but what is going on in their communities as well. Better yet, their children should remain home with them to ensure their safety.

Schools End-Around Mandatory Reporting Laws - V1SUT Vantage, Ashley Rolen

Ashley Rolen has spent years fighting to have the coaches who broke her trust and sexually abused her while she was a student at Little Axe High School decades ago removed from public education. She has yet to be successful. 

In this video V1SUT Vantage blogger, Mary, Ashley, Michael Grande and Jenni White discuss how schools are getting around mandatory sex abuse reporting laws, allowing public school employees who have abused students to just disappear from the school and wind up at another without ever being made to pay for their crimes. If we are to save Oklahoma children from sexual predators, this has to change.

Change MUST Happen To Protect Public School Students - Ashley Rolen; ROPE Report Live

Ashley Rolen submitted statements to the Little Axe school district in 2002 describing the sexual abuse that had been perpetrated on her by several coaches employed by the district. 

Nothing was done. Ashley moved on with her life. 

But as Ashley tells us in the full podcast (YouTube and Rumble), the day she heard about Olympic physician, Larry Nassar, and the stories of the brave gymnasts who came forward and told of their sexual abuse while under his care, she knew she had to make it right - for the other girls to whom this had happened and ones to whom it might be happening now. 

Ashley filed a complaint with the Oklahoma State Department of Education under Joy Hoffmeister. She was told that they had no investigators for her case and that she'd have to do her own investigation - which she did - and returned it to the OSDE under Ryan Walters. Still, nothing has been done. 

In this video, Ashley talks about what needs to happen for these reports to be taken seriously by school administration and the OSDE.
