Professor Emily Gold Waldman quoted in “The Christian Science Monitor” about school sex abuse lawsuits

Professor Emily Gold Waldman was quoted in The Christian Science Monitor where she commented on liability issues facing school districts dealing with a sex abuse scandal. The article discusses the recent events in the Los Angeles Unified School District where two staff members have been arrested for molesting children. The cases have sparked three law suits, a number that is expected to rise as more students come forward.

Professor Waldman cited the specifics of California education law that allows individuals to sue school districts, saying schools must “take reasonable steps to protect children.”
