Hard to believe that a 15-yo knew about this and it managed not to get out to anyone else who may have alerted authorities Well I doubt anyone took it seriously, would you have?

Depends. If a 15 yo started boasting about it and didn't say anything specific, I probably would have sloughed it off. I was saying that if the rumors were widespread enough that he had heard about it, then it would seem likely that others had heard about it too, and maybe someone who cared would have heard and said something. If his family was warned or directly involved, then it was a real tight circle and they can keep their mouths shut. Except for this kid evidently.
