I have been doing this work long enough to know one thing for certain: our children’s safety is non-negotiable.
Yet, too many schools—institutions that we trust with our babies—are failing them in ways that are not just unacceptable, but outright dangerous.
They tell us they care about inclusion and education, but when it comes to protecting children from predators, exploitation, and inappropriate influences, suddenly they get quiet.
They expect parents to sit down, be polite, and trust that the system will do what’s right.
But let me tell you something: trusting the system has never protected children—relentless action does.
🚨 Schools Are Failing to Protect Our Children
I need you to really sit with this:
🛑 Some schools allow predators to blend in as trusted teachers, coaches, and mentors.
🛑 Some schools expose children to mature content disguised as education.
🛑 Some schools silence parents and override family boundaries.
🛑 Some schools prioritize reputations over safety.
They will tell you they are following policy. They will tell you they know better.
🚨 But if policies endanger children, they need to change.
🚨 If schools refuse to listen, we need to MAKE them listen.
🚨 How Parents Can Take Back Their Power
Listen, I don’t care how polished the principal sounds, how progressive the curriculum claims to be, or how many committees they hide behind.
If children are unsafe, every single adult in that building is accountable.
Here’s how we push back—hard:
🔥 Demand Transparency – No school should be making major safety, curriculum, or policy decisions behind closed doors. Ask questions. Demand answers.
🔥 Use Your Numbers – Schools ignore one concerned parent. They can’t ignore 50 parents at the next board meeting, demanding action.
🔥 Create a Paper Trail – If you bring a concern, put it in writing. They can lie to your face. They can’t deny an email. Documentation forces accountability.
🔥 Expose Their Hypocrisy – If they enforce strict rules on clothing, attendance, and test scores, but let predators, grooming tactics, and inappropriate content slide, CALL IT OUT. Loudly. Publicly. Consistently.
🔥 Refuse to Be Silenced – Schools love to intimidate parents into thinking they are causing trouble. Let me be very clear: silence is what protects predators—not children. If they don’t listen privately, make it public.
🔥 Teach Your Child to Self-Protect – If a school refuses to be safe, then equip your child:
✔ No adult has the right to tell them to keep secrets.
✔ No teacher should be discussing mature topics outside of parent-approved education.
✔ No counselor should be undermining parental authority.
🚨 This Is Not a Fight We Can Afford to Lose
I am not interested in being ‘polite’ when children’s safety is at risk.
I am not interested in waiting for a committee to study a crisis while children suffer.
I am not interested in giving any school the benefit of the doubt when they show us who they really are.
I am interested in results. In action. In real protection for our babies.
We are the first, last, and strongest line of defense for our children.
If the schools will not do better, then we will make them.
📢 Parents, stand up. Speak out. Take action. Because our children are watching.
