Mary Allison Sometimes the relationship between a teacher and a student crosses the line, and becomes an issue for police and the courts. First and foremost watch for warning signs, know your kid's teachers and be involved in your child's educational life. Appropriate contact between teachers and students might include tutoring or field trips. Phone calls and e-mails from the teacher, even a sudden change in grades. All these can spell trouble.
Research shows that sexually abusive teachers are often the most popular teachers.
