Tim – That really is outrageous. That report says that some 850K kids are homeschooled. But that’s a 2001 number. Considering the explosive growth in the field it wouldn’t shock me if the number’s at 1 million by now. Assuming that’s the case for the purposes of easier calculations for the mathematically impaired (me), if CBS found even 100 cases — which I sincerely doubt they could — that would be a .0001% rate of abuse. I’d hazard to guess that the rate of child molesters currently employed for CBS is higher than that.

UPDATE Yes, my math was wrong. I was doing the math with a baby on my lap. Sorry. It’s .01% which might in fact be higher than the rate of child molesters at CBS. My apologies.
