The Village that Betrayed its Children is the story of a rural village in Southern Ontario where a crime was committed in the 1950s and 60s. Although the teacher of the two-room village school assaulted most of the female students, he was never brought to justice - in fact, he was protected. This man was allowed to continue teaching despite being revealed as a pedophile. Many of the town's parents allowedtheir children to continue going to the school though fully aware of the teacher's activities.In this chilling account, Lee describes the man who was the perpetrator, the villagers, the children, and the laws at that time. She also relates the psychological effects of child molestation through her own story.
