[The Great Yazoo]

At least that poor girl got adequate socialization.

Some people simply do not know how to apply disciplinary measures when the situation calls for it. The school administrators considered this to be a "time out", instead of the juvenile crime that it was.

The young girl was CLEARLY the victim of unwanted sexual attention, an event that would have resulted in the firing or civil suit against an adult engaged in similar bad behavior. Since no adults are involved here at the level of the infraction, it falls on those who are in authority as "in loco parentis".

The school authorities were plainly dodging their collective duty.

Liberal democrats and the teachers unions have transformed the public school system into nothing more than a warehouse for little gangsters who worship Snoop Dog and Fifty Cent but don't have a clue who Thomas Jefferson or Benjamen Franklin were.

[Tax-chick]

a local government report revealed that nearly 12,000 children ages 12 to 17 are bullied, abused or robbed by peers and others. Of that number, more than 1,000 are victims of sexual assaults

During what time period, I wonder? Monthly, annually, since 1990?

Not that I disagree with her general point (my kids don't go to schoo :-), but this was clearly edited in haste.

Another fine example of the money pit called public education...

[Kenton]

The animals accused of assaulting the victim were suspended and may face criminal charges.

MAY face charges?

[Khurkris]

This young girl was raped, raped and humiliated while in the charge of her school.

Pretty damned sad that this is trivialized with lessening terms. Pretty damn sad. Its past time that people start holding those accountable, accountable for their actions or lack of actions. I support the father starting his vengance with a baseball bat and moving up from there.

What if this were your daughter?

[Inwoodian]

Somehow I didn't catch the reaction of any NOW representative. Of course, this doesn't compare to the ignominy of Bob Packwood tongue kissing an adult employee twenty years ago. Then again, that was before the Age of Clinton. Now we know that these acts don't constitute sex.

[Houmatt]

All I can say is I admire the father's restraint.

I believe I would have given them a reason to call 911 after I started to open up a can of whoop ass on some of those administrators, beginning with that bozo who asked the dad not to use 911.

[Logophile]

The school system, which is not required to inform police of these crimes, has been bombarded with complaints by parents that school officials ignored the victims or downplayed sexual assaults, including a number of incidents involving young girls attacked on local school buses.

What? The school system is not required to report crimes? I wonder how that particular loophole got into the law. You can be sure that anyone in a private organization who covered up violent crimes would be in deep trouble.

[FreeRadical]

According to this News Account there are still no official charges against the administrators.

Whether school administrators will be charged is unclear. State law requires officials to immediately report cases of abuse to law enforcement or face up to 30 days in jail and a $250 fine, City Attorney Richard Pfeiffer Jr. said.

However, he said, officials would be charged only if someone filed a complaint. So far, no complaint has been filed. An attorney for the girl’s father would not say whether he planned to file one.
