The Dark History of School Abuse

Ravi and investigative reporter Amanda Geduld examine nearly 2,000 school-related child sexual abuse claims—and the institutional failures that leave children vulnerable.

SHOW NOTES

Nearly 2,000 claims of child sexual abuse reveal a devastating pattern: schools protecting adults while failing children. Ravi sits down with The 74’s investigative reporter Amanda Geduld to unpack her three-year investigation across New York’s public and private schools. They examine how ignored warnings, quiet resignations, opaque disciplinary records, and legal gaps can allow accused educators to move between schools. The conversation exposes a broader failure in institutions entrusted with children—and what it would take to put their safety first.
