Three St. Charles Parish educators arrested on child abuse charges

Dulce Flores, a 33-year-old Spanish teacher at Riverbank High School in California, was arrested for alleged inappropriate conduct with a 17-year-old student, prompting an investigation and her placement on leave by the school district. This incident marks the second case of alleged misconduct at the school in two years. In St. Charles Parish, Louisiana, three school employees were arrested on charges of child abuse after a mother reported unusual bruising on her child, leading to a review of surveillance footage that implicated them. The accused include a teacher, a para-educator, and a substitute teacher, with the latter facing charges for failing to report the abuse. Both cases highlight ongoing concerns about the safety of students in educational settings and the need for vigilant oversight within schools.
