maybe this time the pope wasn’t too busy getting beaten up by germans to voice his a-okay with it!!
Alternatively, like tech-priests
Either ‘my core is returning feelings of annoyance and I am choosing to engage with them’ or the Opticon-22 special of calling someone a ‘good friend//useful tool’

Geez. All those jade witch / abusive teacher stories make me seriously wonder if safeguarding is a thing in those places. Half of them would’ve got a teacher or any staff member suspended immediately (which is standard procudere here anyway for an accusation that needs investigation) the rest would’ve had the slt racked over coals for safeguarding failures.
Having said that I remember a very bad ict teacher and a primary one who kicked a table at a child so thankfully standards have improved drastically. The 90s were awful for… well anything and everything really.
Especially oasis who are terrible and always have been.

Never underestimate how much establishments like schools, police or any kind of place with authority prefers to defend their own over showing that they have flaws.

I mean I work in one so I know how quickly we turn on each other. Schools aren’t as tight knit as one may think, at least today.

I don’t think any of my teachers were nonces, but the school did once burn down. Then there was an issue about management pressuring teachers to grade students more highly than they deserved to embellish the school’s reputation and about a year or two back teaching staff striked due to working conditions imposed by management.

I do mean kind of in general. I’ve worked as a child carer before and in the process of upgrading to be a primary school teacher 
So I also do know that it can be different in a lot of schools.
But in general, places of prestige do prefer to keep things under wraps.
All it takes is one person to screw up for someone to slip through the cracks. I was watching a video on Dan Schnieder and the general gross misconduct performed by him and Nickelodeon. Drake Bell (from Drake and Josh) was abused by his manager(?), said manager plead no contest to his charges, went to prison, did his time, was put on the registry, and still managed to land a job writing for a Disney show for kids like
It’s far too easy for criminals to weasel their way back into people’s good graces. To Disney’s credit, they did fire that guy once they found out but he absolutely should’ve been denied the job outright.
Yeah, that entire industry of stations like nick/disney are hideous child labour factories which are just open doors for predators to slip in unnoticed
Honestly “unnoticed” feels like the wrong word. Unnoticed by the general public, but a part of me feels like the higher-ups in these industires know who they’re hiring and what they’re doing, but don’t care to stop it - possibly because they’re doing the exact same thing too.
Not saying that you’re wrong for saying it but the whole thing is horrible. So is/was Dance Moms which is a show I only knew of because my sister used to be obsessed with it. I don’t think a single one of those kids has turned out normal.
Deliberately Unnoticed is probably the better phrasing

It’s okay, they put a 19 year old in a class of 14 year olds; he was also highlighted as susceptible to terrorism to boot.
Safeguarding is just vibes.
