In 2005, there was a 19 percent increase in complaints of misconduct over 2004, and a 43 percent increase in substantiated cases. Things got worse in 2006: there was a 38 percent increase in complaints of wrongdoing over 2005, and a 68 percent jump in substantiated claims. In both 2005 and 2006, approximately a third of these cases involved the sexual abuse of minors.
Commenting on these data is Catholic League president Bill Donohue:
“So why isn’t this big news? Because the figures apply to New York City school employees, that’s why. By the way, these figures show that the rate of substantiated sexual abuse of minors committed by New York City public school workers is approximately three times the rate found among Catholic priests nationwide.
Importantly, two-thirds of the New York City school employees who molest kids are teachers.
The City Education Department hid 225 complaints of abuse aboard public school buses to keep the numbers down, a Daily News investigation found.
The hidden cases include some in which school investigators established that bus drivers or monitors beat children or covered up abuse aboard buses, documents show.
In one case, a driver used a school bus and his official uniform in a film playing himself as a New York City school bus driver who smokes marijuana, drinks beer and has sex - all while on duty.

Darnell Washington, a school bus aide formerly serving P.S. 183 in Rockaway for Philippe and Elmer Transportation, has received a three year-sentence for molesting students. His M.O. was to give young boys "wedgies," then proceed to feel around. He also showed one of his victims a picture of a suspiciously young nude girl on his cell phone, which led investigators to discover Washington's cache of child porn. Washington tried to buy the children's silence with money and lollipops, but two came forward, prompting the investigation.
And of course everybody heard of spic, the Ecuadorian pedophile Rodolfo Hernandez accused of performing a sex act on a 3-year-old South Beach girl -- whom he chose, a police source said, because she has a speech impairment and presumably couldn't tell anyone.
But the child managed to communicate the vile details to her mother.
Rodolfo Hernandez, 52, of 51st Street, molested the little girl nearly a year ago, on March 14, 2007, while the two were alone on the bus, according to the source.
