Early signs of abuse

Robert J. Shoop, author of "Sexual Exploitation in Schools" and a professor of educational administration at Kansas State University, writes that early warning signs of abuse include:

Overly affectionate behavior, including excessive hugging or touching by the adult.

Inappropriate, non-education-related conduct, including going to a teacher's house for parties or to watch a movie, or gift-giving by the adult.

Sexual harassment, including sexual jokes or teasing by the adult.
