Teens are in more danger from sexual predators at their part time jobs than they are through the internet. This from the PBS weekly newsmagazine NOW that will air a special on Friday, February 20 (check here for local listings) on the shockingly large number of teens who are harassed on the job.

The documentary--a collaboration of NOW and the Schuster Institute for Investigative Journalism at Brandeis University--features the stories of teens who have been harassed in the workplace. NOW on PBS has a six minute preview video available.

"While sexual harassment is something many American women experience in the workplace, it goes mostly unreported," says NOW correspondent Maria Hinojosa. "We hear stories about protecting our kids from sexual predators on the Internet and teach our daughters and sons to be wary of strangers. There are programs in high schools that deal with bullies, and programs that deal with sexual harassment in school. Yet, there's never been a national conversation about sexual harassment of teen girls on the job, until now."

Read Maria's Huffington Post entry on the show to learn more. The show will also be available in streaming video on the NOW on PBS website beginning February 23.
