When parents actively decide that a job or a lifestyle is more important than protecting their children and getting involved in knowing what's going on in their children's lives, then they should not be surprised when something bad happens. I'm not saying that the pedophile is not responsible for his action, but there is some degree of responsibility on both parties here since these boys are having sex with these women-- it's not simply one way. And if parents are homeschooling, or parents are home when their child gets home, the odds are less that their children will have time for dalliances with a teacher.
