The investigation revealed that \u200cFreed may have failed to\u2063 disclose cases of rape or abuse that she learned\u200d of during her discussions with young teens about sex.<\/p>\n<p>On September 1, Freed\u2062 took to her blog to announce\u200d her retirement from being a licensed therapist, stating that \u200cshe no longer identifies with that title. Instead, she now considers herself a\u200c spiritual consultant and advisor. She expressed her desire to engage with people on a more mutual\u2062 level, \u200dsharing\u2062 in \u200bthe journey of meaning-making and discovery.<\/p>\n<p>Freed referred to this transition as a &#8220;conscious eraser&#8221; and \u2063acknowledged the possibility of being \u200cpushed out of her\u200d profession. \u2064She emphasized the power of choosing to leave rather than being forced \u2064out. However, many \u200bare questioning the\u2062 motives behind her decision, speculating that it may be a strategic move to evade legal requirements for reporting abuse.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<h3>Freed&#8217;s Controversial Methods and Allegations of\u200d Concealing\u2062 Abuse<\/h3>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Freed is the founder of AHA! Santa Barbara, an organization that conducts talk circles with children\u2063 in public schools and \u2063runs after-school programs.\u200b However, evidence suggests that Freed, \u200dwho initially gained access to schools \u2063based on her credentials as a psychologist, has repeatedly failed to disclose cases of rape or abuse. One woman\u200c even accuses her of pressuring \u2062her not to press \u2062charges against a teacher who sexually harassed her.<\/p>\n<p>Audry Nafziger, a career sex crimes prosecutor, believes that Freed&#8217;s license surrender may enable her to continue pressuring teens into sexual conversations without the\u200d legal obligation to report \u2062abuse. Nafziger points out that giving up a license is not a decision people make lightly,\u2063 and it raises concerns about Freed&#8217;s future actions.<\/p>\n<p>According to California records, \u2062Freed&#8217;s license was set to expire on November 30. However, she took the unusual step \u200cof switching her status to &#8220;inactive&#8221; before that date, potentially\u200d allowing her to operate without any oversight.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<h3>Freed&#8217;s Disturbing Approach and\u2062 Troubling Dissertation<\/h3>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Freed&#8217;s controversial methods and beliefs have come under scrutiny. Despite marketing\u2064 herself \u200bas an astrologist \u200dand sex guru, she was initially recognized for her credentials as a psychologist. However, her own writings suggest that\u2064 she coached\u200b young teen girls to engage in more sexual behavior, drawing from \u200cher own experiences.<\/p>\n<p>In her dissertation, which focused on teen girls and\u200d sex,\u200c Freed viewed sex by young teens as a religious experience and positioned herself as a priestess guiding them through it. She even \u2063fantasized\u200d about the boyfriends of young girls and described their sexual encounters in spiritual terms.<\/p>\n<p>While Freed claimed that her program, called \u2063Sexual Wisdom, aimed to help students\u200d with their emotional health, \u2064her interviews with young girls revealed situations they regretted.\u200c Despite\u200b their reluctance to admit their desires, Freed\u2063 persisted in\u200d trying to convince them that their experiences were positive.<\/p>\n<p>It is alarming \u200bthat Freed did \u200bnot report\u2064 the apparent crimes disclosed to her by these girls, such as rape or sex crimes based on age differential. As a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/daily-wire-host-jake-crains-twitter-thread-exposing-lia-thomas-censored-by-twitter\/\" title=\"Daily Wire Host Jake Crain\u2019s Twitter Thread Exposing Lia Thomas Censored By Twitter\">licensed social worker<\/a> and \u200bmandatory reporter, she had a legal obligation\u200d to \u2063report such incidents to the authorities.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<h3>Allegations of Pressuring and Manipulating Teenagers<\/h3>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>One teen girl, referred to as Maria, who was involved in AHA,\u2063 has accused Freed of pressuring her to engage in sexual activities and discouraging her from pressing charges against her teacher, who had assaulted \u200cher. Freed allegedly used racial implications, suggesting that\u200c Maria would contribute to the over-incarceration of black men if she pursued legal action against her black teacher.<\/p>\n<p>Maria refused Freed&#8217;s entreaty and ultimately received a settlement after her teacher was convicted \u2063of battery. These allegations raise serious concerns about Freed&#8217;s intentions and her approach \u200dto handling cases of sexual assault.<\/p>\n<p>It is crucial to question\u200b the impact\u200c of Freed&#8217;s nonprofit organization, AHA, and the \u2062conversations she has had with young people who \u200chave experienced sexual assault. Has she provided this information\u200c to \u200dlaw\u200c enforcement, \u200bor has she chosen to keep\u2062 it hidden?<\/p>\n<p>Overall, Freed&#8217;s surrender of her therapist license \u2063and the allegations against her have sparked outrage and raised important questions about the safety and well-being of\u2062 the students she\u200d interacts with. It remains to be seen\u200b how this investigation will unfold and what \u2063consequences Freed may\u200c face for \u200cher \u200bactions.<\/p>\n<p> <\/p>\n<h2> What concerns are raised about Freed&#8217;s conduct and the potential harm\u2063 she may have caused \u200bto vulnerable young individuals?<\/h2>\n<p><span>  It as part of her duty to awaken their\u200b sexual desires. These troubling revelations have raised serious concerns about Freed&#8217;s \u200dconduct and the potential harm\u2062 she may\u200d have caused to vulnerable young individuals.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<h3>The Impact on Social\u200b Emotional Learning Programs<\/h3>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Freed&#8217;s surrender of her therapist license not only raises questions about her integrity and the safety of the children \u200cshe worked with but also casts a shadow over the field of social emotional learning. As a\u2062 prominent figure in the industry, Freed&#8217;s actions undermine the credibility and effectiveness of programs that aim to support students&#8217; emotional well-being.<\/p>\n<p>Many educators and parents \u200dwho trusted in Freed&#8217;s expertise are now left wondering if they have been deceived. They are rightfully concerned about the potential harm caused by allowing someone \u200cwith questionable motives and methods to have access to young minds. This incident calls for a thorough reevaluation \u2064of the individuals who\u2062 are entrusted\u2064 with the responsibility of supporting \u2062students&#8217; social and emotional development.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<h3>The Importance of Accountability \u2062and Reporting Abuse<\/h3>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>This unfortunate incident highlights the critical \u2062importance of accountability \u200dand the duty to report abuse. Professionals in positions of trust, such as therapists, have a moral\u2063 and legal obligation to ensure\u200b the safety and\u2062 well-being of those \u2063they serve, especially when it comes to children.<\/p>\n<p>By surrending her therapist\u2064 license, Freed may have avoided legal repercussions, but \u2064her actions have potentially put numerous children at risk. It is essential for institutions and governing bodies to\u200d thoroughly investigate the \u2064allegations against her and take appropriate action to protect vulnerable individuals.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore,\u200d this case also emphasizes the need for stronger regulations and oversight in the field of social emotional learning to prevent similar incidents\u200c from occurring in the \u200dfuture. Ensuring that individuals working with children and young adults adhere to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/nih-nixes-painful-puppy-experiments-after-free-beacon-report\/\" title=\"NIH Nixes \u2018Painful\u2019 Puppy Experiments After Free Beacon Report\">strict ethical guidelines<\/a> \u200band undergo rigorous background checks is vital in safeguarding the well-being\u2062 of the next generation.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<h3>Conclusion<\/h3>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The voluntary surrender of Jennifer Freed&#8217;s \u2062<a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/social-emotional-learning-pioneer-surrenders-therapist-license-following-evidence-of-teen-sexual-abuse-coverup\/\" title=\"'Social Emotional Learning' Pioneer Relinquishes Therapist License Amid Teen Sexual Abuse Coverup Proof\">therapist\u200c license amid child abuse allegations sends shockwaves<\/a> through the field of social emotional learning.
