Teacher busted under Kentucky's new anti-grooming law as advocate warns schools can't ignore red flags

Kentucky enacted a new anti-grooming law that resulted in the arrest of an employee at Graves County Middle School, Sadie M. Flores. Experts warn that grooming is not defined by single incidents but is a pattern of behavior intended to build trust and erode boundaries before exploitation can occur. The advocate noted this legal measure provides an earlier opportunity for authorities to potentially intervene.
