A teacher at Strawberry Hill Elementary School in Stamford is accused of sexually assaulting a dozen students. According to reports, the investigation into this person started with young female students speaking up. This news story sparked a conversation about detecting potential threats in people our kids are familiar with. It also prompted the importance of changing the conversation with our kids from “how to avoid stranger danger” to “what should be normal in any relationship from acquaintances to romantic partners.” We did a deep dive with our law enforcement expert, Gary MacNamara. He is the former Fairfield Chief of Police and current chief/executive director of Public Safety at Sacred Heart University.
