If gang rapes are going on at a Christian Boarding school I shudder to think what is going on in the Publik skools.

I’ve yet to see such a lawsuit against a public school

Whatever else that boarding school was…. It wasn’t Christian

*IF*.

But that won’t stop you from posting hit pieces smearing non-Catholic Christians, will it?

Why don’t you post articles about all the abuse that goes on in the Catholic religion? Or is it only non-Catholics you want to bad mouth?

IF. Any program that that parents desperately turn to for help with disruptive, rebellious, manipulative, violent or criminally troubled teens is going to have false allegations made against it and its employees even if run perfectly and entirely legally.

Pretty much every bratty kid out there has been taught they can make such allegations about their parents or any authority figure to get attention and relief from discipline and strict parenting- my friend’s daughter threatened to report her parents once during a temper tantrum but got called on it when her mom explained that it wasn’t the parents who would be taken away to jail, it was the kid who would be taken away to foster care and she wouldn’t get to take all her stuff or pets with her. That made her rethink her threat.

Also, any parents whose parenting has failed so miserably that they have to turn to outside help may have some mental issues themselves, especially if a program fails to change the kid’s attitude and they continue to use the drugs that often landed them there in the first place, or, in this case, years and years later the kid destroys himself. Grieving parents may. find it easier to blame others rather than themselves.

Caution is in order both ways- programs that deal with children are going to be attractive employment opportunities for pedophiles seeking unsupervised access to vulnerable kids, and kids whose past behavior may make them bigger targets because they are less believable. Pedophilia is real. And if the pervert is the sheriff? Yikes.

But the odds of troubled kids making such claims to get their way are very high, if not 100% guaranteed, so they cannot be accepted at face value without some corroborating evidence.

Were any of the alleged abusers ever charged or were any convicted of sexual abuse? (Surely he knew and relayed to his mom who the three staffers were, or described them if her allegations are true.)
Did he have any medical exams that would back up or confirm childhood injuries from the assault or assaults she claims her son suffered?
Were there any medical exams backing up similar complaints from any other people alleging abuse?
Of the 6000 boys who went through the program, how many had negative outcomes and how many had positive outcomes?
Did any have anything good to say about the place or the staff? Did reporters seek out former attendees to see what the general opinions were about their experiences there? If not, why not?

said they closed due to a "lack of financial resources."

Yeah, pay enough damages to victims of your abuse, and you will eventually lack financial resources.

In an interview with The Kansas City Star when he was 27, Jason Britt told the publication that only months after he arrived at the school as a 16-year-old, several staff members held him face down on the floor while three members of the group took turns raping him with a broomstick.

I am not saying this did not happen.

But I will say that even after a couple of years there would be physical evidence.

So, did he go to a doctor?
