Teen Recounts Sexual Assaults by Older kids at Sunnyvale Middle School(Yes, that says MIDDLE school)

Seventh-grade boys at Sunnyvale Middle School feared going to first-period PE class. They knew what might await them: Vicious sexual attacks by older eighth-grade students. Throughout much of last school year, a pack of eighth-graders repeatedly threatened to sexually attack the younger students before and after class...

Here's my question: I can understand the existence of a 8th-grade middle-school pervert with perhaps a little gang behind him. But 5 or 6??? And how in the world does a middle-schooler get 16 middle school boys to cooperate both in the repeated act and in the repeated cover-up? In addition, I can't believe that so many students would remain quiet about this for so long (September to April). Students talk to each other. Parents notice that their child is traumatized and find some way to get to the problem. Some student goes to an adult (parent or counselor). Nothing is secret at a middle school for very long.

There's more here than we've been told. The investigation isn't complete.

We can see how well that idea is working out right here in Massachusetts.

when did popping wet towels cease being the chief concern in the locker room? I went to school in a town made up up Hispanics to answer some allegations on this thread. There was nothing beyond jokes about the younger kids "lack of endowment".

[Fundamentally Fair]

Well, I hope nobody used the racist term “black hole” during the rapes. /s

This ain’t “Your mama wears army boots” type bullying. Sounds like a Gay gang rape to me....

[Krankor]

During my gym class days, anyone caught grab-assing in the locker room got 3-4 whacks on the bare butt by the PE teacher with a wiffle-ball bat. It left some nice bruises, too.

That sounds sicker than the ass grabbing.

Here you go (for that school)

White 53%
Black 7%
Asian 23%
Hispanic 12%
‘Native Americans’ 2%

2% ESL
10% subsidized lunch

One source said that the school admin wouldn’t act because the kids were from locally powerful families.

Allows? I don't believe pending charges of aggravated sexual assault counts as allowing something.

“The Dallas County Sheriff's Department has concluded its investigation and has recommended that the Dallas County district attorney's office prosecute five eighth-grade boys for aggravated sexual assault and/or indecency, according to Kim Leach, a Sheriff's Department spokeswoman.”

Once the little sodomites-in-training have raped their first victim, there will be no ‘rehabilitation’ - this constitutes a triple offense combining homosexual rape, pedophilia and violent assault.

Either lock ‘em up for life or shoot the little bastards.

Yes, I said shoot them.

[Tax-chick]

How unspeakably disgusting. Where do people like this come from?

[Clara Lou]

That’s ridiculous. Specific hormones do specific things. Growth hormones, for instance, cause growth, not heightened sexuality. Assuming that all of these boys drink milk from cows given milk-production hormones (my HEB doesn’t sell milk from cows given hormones), explain how a hormone to increase milk production awakens perverted sexuality.

[MissEdie]

These are probably 8th grade students who should be in either 9th or 10th grade and are using the younger kids to victimize to make themselves feel superior- sick I know, but that’s just my two cents worth.

[mouse1]

I cant imagine this type of behavior being acceptable.
Back in the day, if you even looked at another guy wrong, especially in gym class, your would be labeled a faggot and get your a$$ kicked.

This is what society has produced. Families with two moms. Gay marriage/civil unions. Pride fests. We should have kept it in the closet where it belongs.

[Clara Lou]

Talk to their parents.

[Tax-chick]

I’ll leave that to the authorities, thanks. The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree, as they say.

[gunnedah]

It is the new sexual assault gene they have discovered.

[MissEdie]

I’m with you on this one. We’ve seen it too many times, pedophiles cannot be rehabilitated (and yes, they are pedophiles, or more accurately sexual predators). How many more victims are going to fall prey to these wastes of space?

[Yaelle]

Why would ANYONE want their pre-teen in an institution practically unsupervised with a mob of hormonal teens?

Middle schools were always horrible; they’ve just grown worse.

I homeschool mine so that I know my kids are safe all day long. As a mother, that is my #1 job.

[Clara Lou]

The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree
Exactly.

[ConservativeMind]

How about shoving a three-foot long metal bar up the butts of the bullies? Let’s see, the bullies used a foot-long cone, and the Bible says that a three-fold punishment ought to be given.

I hate bullying.
