Thou revealest too much!

Our church group teaches the facts of life to 13-year-olds. One of us goes way over the line.

    I was that woman

    Okay, not literally. But I had no boundaries, primarily as a result of sexual abuse at the hands of a family friend (coincidentally, a UU -- and his wife the religious education director) when I was a 12-year-old Catholic girl.

    This woman will not stop after being talked to. She can't stop.

    You must protect the children.

    They are being scarred, in large and small ways, by a course which is supposed to help them.

    Find other teachers, and get her out of there.

    By the way, I don't know if the LW is a UU, but I am.
