Safety classes held at Beaver Area Schools after bus driver accused of sex abuse

BEAVER COUNTY, Pa.,None — School counselors conducted a safety program for children and parents within the Beaver Area School District on Monday after a school van driver was accused of sexually assaulting young girls.

Earl Peacock was arrested last week and charged with molesting two young students from College Square Elementary.

School officials said the program will help students learn what is considered an inappropriate touch.

Counselors also taught parents how to look for signs of sex abuse and how to report it.
