The Village That Betrayed its Children

The Village that Betrayed its Children is the story of a rural village where a crime was committed in the 1950s and 60s. Although the teacher of the two-room village school assaulted most of the female students, he was never brought to justice - in fact he was protected and continued to teach. Many of the small town's parents allowed their children to continue going to the school though fully aware of the teacher's activities. In this chilling account, Lee describes the man who was the perpetrator, the villagers, the children, and the laws at that time. She also relates the legacy of child molestation through her own story.
