<p>In a shocking report released over the weekend, <a href="http://graphics.chicagotribune.com/chicago-public-schools-sexual-abuse/index.html">the Chicago Tribune revealed</a> that Chicago Public Schools has investigated more than 500 incidents of &#8220;sexual misconduct&#8221; within the school system, and more than 100 of those incidents involved an adult preying on minor children.</p>
<p>The Tribune&#8217;s story includes an interactive map that describes each one of the 108 cases of sexual misconduct involving an adult in charge of a student, and reporters identified at least 72 individuals — most of them CPS employees — responsible for the overwhelming number of allegations.</p>
<p>In some cases, Chicago Public Schools let abuse go on and complaints pile up for years before taking action. And the problem was endemic: incidents occurred across the city, in both rich and poor, white and minority neighborhoods, in nearly every school in the system.</p>
<p>Illinois — and federal — law requires that schools investigate complaints of sexual abuse and report the incident to child protective services. But in most cases, the Tribune found, &#8220;teachers and principals failed to alert child welfare investigators or police despite the state’s mandated reporter law.&#8221;</p>
<p>Even when administrators took swift action, students were harmed. &#8220;[T]hey subjected young victims to repeated interrogations, inflicting more psychological pain and defying basic principles intended to preserve the integrity of an investigation.&#8221;</p>
<p>In one case, administrators ignored complaints about a choir director for more than <em>two decades </em>before finally taking action in 2014, only to have the security guard resign just hours before CPS released a &#8220;devastating&#8221; report on his actions.</p>
<p>The Tribune also found that CPS failed to perform basic background checks on support employees, &#8220;expos[ing] students to educators with criminal convictions and arrests for sex crimes against children.&#8221; When those same educators resigned after investigations that revealed criminal misconduct, CPS didn&#8217;t report what they&#8217;d discovered.</p>
<p>Part of the problem was that Chicago police authorities are busy handling more pressing issues. Chicago&#8217;s students not only suffer violence from their teachers, but within their neighborhoods as well. But the Tribune found that CPS bears quite a bit of responsibility because they both conducted the investigations into their own employees&#8217; alleged misconduct, and then employed their legal department to block inquiries into what was being done about problem staff.</p>
<p>&#8220;Experts say CPS creates a conflict of interest by assigning its Law Department to investigate allegations of abuse and then drawing on the investigative files to defend the district if the victim sues,&#8221; the Tribune reports.</p>
<p>When the Tribune approached CPS with its findings, CPS responded by suggesting they had room to improve.</p>
