Invisible Target: Breaking the Cycle of Educator Sexual Abuse

By Andrea Clemens

Book Overview

Invisible Target is a true, detailed account of one girl's experience of educator sexual abuse at the hands of her middle school teacher. It follows her journey, beginning with her tumultuous childhood, meeting the teacher, and the grooming process he created to lure her into a false sense of trust and ultimate betrayal. After years of abuse and manipulation, she finally found the courage to bravely break away from her abuser. With excerpts from newspaper articles and an actual court impact statement, this book gives you a clear picture of how the epidemic of educator sexual abuse begins, progresses, and affects so many innocent lives. Invisible Target is more than a memoir. With thought-provoking questions at the close of each chapter, this book serves as a strong educational tool for students, parents, teachers, and administrators by shedding light on the dynamics of educator sexual abuse so that school can be a safe haven for every child. "I highly recommend that Invisible Target be read and discussed in every school community in the country." -John M. Seryak, M.Ed. "This book can help students identify predators, parents to support their children, and educators to prevent abuse." -Charol Shakeshaft, Ph.D. "Although the topic is obviously very disturbing and disheartening, Andrea's story is one of hope." -Robert J. Shoop, Ph.D.
