When Schools Fail: A Predator at the Dance

A convicted sex offender attended an elementary school dance—unannounced to parents. Find out what happened and how to protect your child from this failure.

In this hard-hitting episode of Screen Guardians Podcast, Katie and Kevin uncover a deeply disturbing incident that took place at an elementary school dance in the Blue Valley School District in Kansas.

A convicted sex offender—released after serving 8 years for possession of child sexual abuse material—was allowed to attend a school event with zero warning to parents. He was even seen filming students at the event.

Kevin, a child crimes investigator, breaks down the real risks, the statistics behind offender behavior, and why this scenario poses more danger than schools—or even the legal system—may admit.

We discuss:

• Why the school's current safety policies fall short
• What the new policy says—and why it’s still not enough
• What parents can do right now to advocate for safer schools
• How to check sex offender registries and ask the right questions before school events

If you think this couldn’t happen at your school—think again. This episode is a must-listen for any parent, teacher, or community leader serious about keeping kids safe.
