No institution should fail those it is charged with protecting.
Our mission is to make Kentucky schools safer for all students by closing systemic loopholes, driving policy reform, and exposing institutional complicity related to sexual abuse and grooming by faculty and administration.

Laura Wills-Coppelman’s Law
Defining Grooming as Misconduct
Grooming Recognition & Prevention Act
Explicitly establishes a clear, statutory definition of grooming behaviors within Kentucky’s professional misconduct framework.
Enables earlier identification, reporting, and intervention before harm escalates
Provides guidance for educators, administrators, and boards
What is Institutional Complicity?
Institutional complicity refers to the ways an organization, system, or authority structure becomes involved in harm—not necessarily by direct action, but through inaction, protection, normalization, or structural failure.
Silence or inaction
Ignoring complaints, minimizing reports, or delaying response despite warning signs.Procedural shielding
Hiding behind policies, technicalities, NDAs, or jurisdictional loopholes rather than addressing the underlying harm.Misplaced loyalty
Protecting reputation, senior staff, donors, or authority figures over the well-being of vulnerable people.
Retaliation or misdirection
Punishing, discrediting, or isolating the person who raises concerns instead of investigating the behavior itself.Normalization of misconduct
Treating concerning behavior as “misunderstandings,” “boundary issues,” or “how things have always been.”Failure to educate or define
Not clearly defining prohibited conduct (e.g., grooming), failing to train staff, or leaving ambiguity that allows harm to flourish.
