What happens when protecting children takes a back seat to bureaucracy, miscommunication, or worse—inaction? In one of the most emotionally charged and urgent episodes of the Screen Guardians Podcast, host Katie Longhauser and co-host Detective Kevin Cronister dive deep into a real-life case that shocked a local school community and ignited a movement for legislative change. In February 2024, a shocking incident occurred at Blue River Elementary School in the Blue Valley School District of Kansas. A registered sex offender, convicted of possessing hundreds of hours of child sexual abuse material (CSAM), was granted permission to attend a K–5 school dance—an event filled with children as young as five. Yes, it was legal. And yes, it could very well happen again. In this follow-up, we bring you the firsthand voices of the parents who experienced this violation of trust and are now pushing for statewide legislative change and urgent school policy reform. This isn't just their story—it's a call to action for every parent, educator, and policymaker. Let's dive in.   For a detailed breakdown of the timeline, initial fallout, and legal loopholes that allowed this to occur, be sure to check out Episode 7 of the Screen Guardians Podcast, titled "When Schools Fail: A Predator at the Dance" 🔗
