HANNIBAL, N.Y. (AP) — Some boys and girls in an Oswego County school district must sit in separate sections of their school buses following the arrest of two students for engaging in sexual activity on their ride home.
State police said a 14-year-old boy was charged in juvenile court with forcing a 13-year-old girl into a sexual act and a 16-year-old boy was charged with a misdemeanor count of sexual misconduct involving a 14-year-old girl.
Investigator Stephen Cadwell said the Hannibal Central Schools students were all on the same after-hours bus ride Nov. 7.
"These cases are coincidental," Cadwell said. "There was no conspiracy."
Superintendent Michael DiFabio said boys and girls now are riding separately on three after-hours bus runs, which service up to 15 students each from sports or extracurricular activities at the middle and high schools.
"Parents expect a safe environment, and this does not provide a safe environment," DiFabio said. "It's embarrassing for the district to admit things like this happened. I just apologize to the parents for having this happen."
The school and state police began an investigation after the 13-year-old girl told her mother. Both boys were awaiting court appearances.
Hannibal is 29 miles northwest of Syracuse.
If you want to discuss a point,come on. If not your replies are useless babble!
Right - so these kids were 'bullied' into not speaking up when the act was occurring, but now they are witnesses? I find that a bit hard to swallow.
Thats why I say they ought to be tossed in with the adult prison population for a couple of months.
Sounds like a plan. Too bad parents don't teach their kids right from wrong in the first place, though.
The only "useless babble" I've seen on this thread are your posts. I'm not the only one who has tried to point out your ignorance to you on this thread, but somehow you've managed to miss it all. Good for you. I'm sure you're happy in your smug little world. I'm done with you.
Home schooled children do ride " publics school buses" when they participate in the extracurricular activities, such as band and sports.
Where you ignorant about that too? As where many of the other posters!
So your "ignorance " point is babble! Try another point. You have lost, again!
