No. Everyone is responsible for their own action or inaction here. LCPS doesn’t get to blame the sheriff for their own negligence and lies. The sheriff absolutely holds blame too, but that does not in any way absolve LCPS. Ziegler, the asst super, the division counsel and Wade should all be fired for cause. |
Father just stated in an interview the reason his daughter transferred to Ashburn was because she was held by knifepoint by three male assailants at her other school in Leesburg. It resulted in additional threats by MS-13 gang members so they transferred her to Ashburn. The poor girl already had psychological issues from being held at knifepoint, threats, etc, but her psychiatrist/psychologist felt the best thing for her to do is go back to school. Parents were skeptical but figured the professionals knew best.
The boy who raped her probably saw her as the perfect victim. The school administrators knew the girl's past circumstances and did not protect her or believe her. |
Without a doubt. |
The girl had been held at knifepoint by three guys at her previous school. They left after she started getting threats by MS-13. |
You have to be out of your damn mind. |
You have to get permission from a different school for a transfer. I don't agree the Leesburg schools aren't as good, though perhaps that applies more to middle schools. One school has a whole section of kids taking algebra 2, while schools in Ashburn bus them to high school to take the class. |
Special permission is automatically granted if a school is below 95% max enrollment. In Loudoun you don’t need to state a reason. |
The leadership is sickening. |
Please try to keep up. The LCPS didn't blame the sheriff. The special grand jury did. The grand jury also concluded there was no coordinated effort on part of LCPS. Nor did it make ANY recommendations for disciplinary action/consequences for LCPS officials, let alone bring criminal charges. You're grasping at straws because you are deeply committed to an insane narrative about a tragic circumstance that is rooted in a bizarre and psychotic hatred of LGBTQ people. You're really disgusting, really, with your need to be righteous, inflammatory and try to fix blame when we should be looking to fix the problems identified in the report, which include institutions operating in silos. Left less said is what to do about protocols for handling sexual assaults. |
You couldn’t be more wrong. I’m a liberal who is fine with transgender students using any bathroom they like and none of this has anything to do with that. This was a deeply troubled kid with no empathy or fear of consequences who showed all the warning signs and could have been stopped in countless ways and wasn’t. The entire system failed those girls over and over and over again. |
No, I am not wrong about this. The end. |
I don’t even understand why you are pushing this narrative about hatred of LGBTQ people. The problem PP has is that individuals who could have intervened had been lectured by administration about LGBTQ, which is why the teacher, who witnessed the legs under the stall, kept her mouth shut. She was afraid to intervene, to go to anyone who would intervene. Even if it turned out to be consensual sex and not rape, do you think it’s appropriate for two kids to be screwing in a bathroom? When the higher ups in schools and school boards create an atmosphere of fear in the staff, bad thing happen to children. This was not a first offense for this kid. He had offenses in other states and his own grandmother felt he was sociopathic. Her father stated his daughter was only back in school for a few weeks before this kid preyed on her. |
In this case, it was no longer safe for this girl to stay at the Leesburg school, given she had already been held at knifepoint by three students, and threatened by MS-13. You can agree or disagree, but those are the facts. If that kind of assault can happen at a school, it’s not a good school. There’s no reason on God’s green earth why violent gang members should be attending a public school, never mind members of a gang that was imported here by ‘kind souls who only want to help those less fortunate’. When politics put our kids in danger and politicians turn a blind eye to it, it’s up to parents to step up to the plate. It takes guts and you have to be prepared to be made a pariah. Scott Smith is the type of parent all of us should aspire to be. How he was treated by county officials is nothing short of reprehensible. |
Where else should school-aged gang members be? They're supposed to be in school. And MS-13 is homegrown, not imported. |
There are more details than that. When she came in, the boy temporarily stopped his assault and jumped quickly up. The girl rose more slowly, probably due to the fact that she was in pain. She knew she was witnessing something that was simply wrong to be occurring in a school. She still did nothing, out of fear. In your defense of transgenderism, it’s clear you are willing to ignore those situations where the politics get in the way of justice. |
