Does anyone know?

If the dead children in Fresno were home schooled?

1. why do you ask?

[Robin Hood]

2. I was just wondering if the incest could have been prevented.

3. there's no correlation between incest

and homeschooling...

[Robin Hood]

4. Didn't say there was.

But if there was abuse going on, I would hope that the public school would have caught it.

Where did WE fail in this tragedy?

5. oh..thank you

6. How do you know that?

Is it your opinion, or has someone actually done a study?

[stopthegop]

7. we home school..

I know a lot about it...

8. I'm just curious if there is a study on point

It seems to me that children of incest may be more likely to be home schooled- (notice I didn't say the reverse might be true- that home schooled children may be more likely to be have incestuous parents- completely different proposition).

The original poster's concern about kids in situations like these being kept out of the watchful eyes of school districts and pediatricians seems to me to be a valid one.

9. possibly....

I am unaware of a study specifically comparing incest to homeschooling...although to be honest, if there was such a study that found a correlation, the NEA would publicize it to no end...
