Neither choice is right.<\/p>\n
A recent program on America’s Public Broadcasting System<\/a> highlighted the dangers and issues.<\/p>\n A surprising statistic finds teenagers are more at risk from sexual predators at a part-time job than the Internet. One estimate places over 200,000 teens as being victimized in the workplace annually. Often an underreported phenomenon, some young women are speaking out publicly.<\/p>\n On a recent PBS show, abused teens told their stories to Maria Hinojosa<\/a>, a Senior Correspondent with NOW.<\/p>\n Hinojosa, writing in The Huffington Post, says of the girls she interviewed, they were 16 when the sexual harassment occurred, and it was on their first job.<\/p>\n The girls had no idea about what was acceptable workplace behavior and even less knowledge of legal protections. Employers don’t spend money training teenage, part-time workers and workplace rules aren’t taught in school.<\/p>\n Despite being embarrassed and frightened, the girls “found the strength and courage” to take their abusers to court according to Hinojosa.<\/p>\n
