Case Study: Child Molestation

For this Discussion, review this week’s media piece, “Case Study: Child Molestation.” Assume the role of the superintendent and consider your legal responsibility in this situation and how you would address it to protect the health and welfare of the children. Once you have reviewed the media, search for local, state, and federal laws, and policies that would be used to determine the criminal or civil liability in this case. Note: This case is based upon a real-life scenario.

Post an explanation of whether this is considered a criminal or civil liability case, or both, and cite the laws or policies that were violated. Then, assuming the role of the superintendent, what steps would you take to address this situation? Explain your legal responsibility in this case. Finally, explain at least two strategies you would employ to ensure compliance of the laws and policies surrounding this case to mitigate future occurrences.
