School abuse reporting: Training murky despite horrifying cases, survey finds - SF Bay Area, California

"As news emerged over the past year of three horrifying abuse cases in Bay Area schools, one common thread linked them: In Brentwood, Moraga and San Jose, school officials knew enough to suspect vulnerable children were being harmed, but failed in their legal duty to alert authorities.

Now, a survey by the Bay Area News Group of 94 local school districts reveals the problem of haphazard compliance with child abuse laws is far larger than those three errant districts...."

[Note this caption: "Kristen Cunnane, an assistant coach on the California swim team, fights back tears as she talks about the decision of officials at the Moraga Country Club to cancel her swimming clinic there, presumably because she has come out and publicly acknowledged that she was sexually abused while in her teens, during a press conference at Haas Pavilion in Berkeley, Calif., Thursday, June 7, 2012. The chair of the club has subsequently reversed that decision and Cunnane will hold her clinic next week."
