94. Sheesh. That's terrible. Really terrible.
I had a friend whose mother was abusive toward him and his sister. They finally went to the guidance counselor at our school in the hopes of having an adult to talk to about it. The guidance counselor promptly called their parents and they consequently were beaten for weeks afterward for talking about the family situation. The counselor didn't do anything in terms of follow up. When I was in school there was an attitude that those in authority were always correct - so the parents were believed but not the kids.

And this guy was getting paid to counsel kids - you've really got to wonder.
